Access Controller) is responsible for acting as an interface between the host system and its management
software and the periphery devices. These periphery devices consist of the PSUs, the storage backplane,
integrated SAS HBA or PERC 6/i and control panel with semi-intelligent display.
The iDRAC6 provides features for managing the server remotely or in data center lights-out environments
.
Advanced iDRAC features require the installation of the iDRAC6 Enterprise card.
