IDRAC Settings
The Integrated Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) firmware and hardware built into LiveWire (LiveWire Core/PowerCore only) lets you remotely access LiveWire as if you were in the same room as the LiveWire. Using an Internet browser, you can easily perform tasks such as accessing a remote console, reimaging LiveWire, rebooting, shutting down, and starting LiveWire (even if LiveWire is off).
These settings are only applicable to physical appliances and not for Virtual ones. These are Dell hardware settings.
