different country. iDRAC6 is a purchasable option and is available as three offerings: iDRAC6 Express,
iDRAC6 Enterprise, and Virtual Flash (vFlash) media:
 iDRAC6 Express is most appropriate for small-to-medium customers with limited remote
management needs.
 iDRAC6 Enterprise is appropriate for large data center customers with distributed servers.
 iDRAC6 with vFlash Media is provided for large enterprise customers with requirements for
system management automation.
16.6 iDRAC Express
The iDRAC Express is standard on the PowerEdge T710. In addition to providing a Lifecycle
Controller, the iDRAC6 Express offers the following key features:
• Graphical web interface
• Standard-based interfaces
• Server Sensor monitoring and fault alerting
• Secure operation of remote access functions including authentication, authorization, and
encryption
• Power control and management with the ability to limit server power consumption and
remotely control server power states
• Advanced troubleshooting capabilities
For more information on iDRAC6 Express features, see Table 22.
16.7 iDRAC6 Enterprise
The optional iDRAC6 Enterprise card provides access to advanced iDRAC6 features. The iDRAC6

branded SD card that enables a persistent 256 MB virtual flash partition. The vFlash media delivers
the following key features:
 Support for 8 GB SD storage media
 Can be used as a repository for a pre-OS image, eliminating the need to maintain a network
infrastructure for OS deployment
 Can also be used for permanent diagnostics image for use after system failures, or permanent
failsafe image for periodic configuration changes
A more detailed feature list for iDRAC6 Express, iDRAC6 Enterprise, and vFlash media is shown in
