Embedded System Management
The Lifecycle Controller is an embedded utility that enables systems
management tasks from an embedded environment throughout the server’s
lifecycle.
The controller can be started during the boot sequence and can function
independently of the operating system.
NOTE:
Certain platform configurations may not support the full set of features
provided by the controller.
The following features of the Lifecycle Controller are supported on systems
with Baseboard Management Controller (BMC):
• Installing an operating system
• Running diagnostics to validate the memory, I/O devices, processors,
physical disks, and other peripherals
When an iDRAC6 Express card is installed, the controller provides the
following additional features:
• Downloading and applying firmware updates
• Configuring hardware and firmware
For more information about setting up the controller, configuring hardware
and firmware, and deploying the operating system, see the
Lifecycle Controller
User Guide
on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com/manuals .
