Intel Server Board SE7501HG2 Product Guide

Direct Platform Control (DPC) Console

Direct Platform Control (DPC) Console is part of Intel Server Management. Direct Platform

Control is a server management application that supports remote system management via LAN, or

an RS-232 serial connection to the server Serial B port over a modem or a direct serial cable. The

Direct Platform Control Console provides the ability for remote management of Intel servers via

modem or LAN with a capability to run DOS-based programs.

DPC console runs on a client workstation and is independent of the server operating system. It

communicates with a server by:

• Accessing the server management capabilities of the on-board NIC

• A Windows 2000 compatible modem.

• An RS-232 connection to the server’s Serial B port.

Even when the server is off, you can use DPC Console to verify the state of a server or diagnose a

problem with the server hardware. DPC console features allows you to:

• Establish connection to remote servers

• Server Control: power on, power off, and reset operations

• Retrieve and display entries in the System Event Log (SEL)

• Retrieve and display Sensor Data Records (SDR)

• Retrieve and display Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information

• Retrieve and display current Remote Sensor Access (RSA) information

• Access a phonebook for remote connection management

• Remote control of the service partition

• File transfer from / to the server

DPC Console Modes of Operation

There are four DPC console modes of operation:

• EMP mode. Access the DPC console features using the DPC console window menus and/or

toolbar. Active when a connection is established through the EMP port (Serial B).

• DPC over LAN mode. Access the DPC console features using the DPC console window

menus and/or toolbar. Active when a connection is established through the LAN.

• Re-direct mode. Active when the server is running BIOS console redirection. In this mode, the

DPC console launches a separate window. The window operates as an ANSI terminal and

communicates with the server through the port. Character-based commands you type in the

DPC Console go directly to the server, and the DPC Console displays the text that you would

normally see on the server console.
