that allows you to view and set parameters for the iDRAC6 and for the
managed server.

operating system consoles.
In addition, the iDRAC6 Configuration Utility enables you to:

dedicated iDRAC6 Enterprise card port or the embedded NIC1.
• Enable or disable IPMI over LAN.
• Enable a LAN Platform Event Trap (PET) destination.
