Integrated Lights-Out Advanced provides embedded hardware Graphical Remote Console capabilities that can turn a supported browser into a virtual desktop,giving the user full control over the display,keyboard,and mouse of the host server. The operating system-independent console supports graphic modes that display remote host server activities,such as shutdown and startup operations. It works with a standard browser and no additional software is required on the remote server or client system. The USB-based Virtual Media feature allows an IT administrator to boot the remote server using a standard 1.44-MB diskette on the client machine,a CD on the client machine,or an image of the floppy from anywhere on the client’s network. After the remote server has booted a USB-capable operating system,the virtual floppy or CD is available as if it were a local USB device. The Virtual Media features save time and increase efficiency by eliminating the need to visit the remote server just to insert and use a diskette or CD.
