UK448 - Dell DRAC 5 Remote Access Card for PE 1900 1950 2900 2950 with Cables

Description

The Dell UK448 is a dedicated remote access and management card, specifically the DRAC/MC 5 model, designed for Dell PowerEdge servers. This card provides essential out-of-band management capabilities, meaning it can manage the server independently of the operating system and network connection. This is crucial for IT administrators who need to perform tasks such as initial server setup, troubleshooting hardware failures, or responding to critical alerts, even when the server is powered off or the OS is unresponsive. Key features of the DRAC/MC 5 include remote console access (virtual KVM), virtual media capabilities (allowing remote mounting of ISO images or USB drives), remote power control (power on/off/reset), and comprehensive system monitoring. It allows administrators to view server health status, hardware logs, and receive alerts for potential issues, all through a web-based interface or command-line tools. The PCI-Express interface ensures high-speed communication between the card and the server's motherboard. Included with the UK448 are the necessary cables required for its installation and connection within the server chassis. This ensures that administrators have the components needed to integrate the DRAC/MC 5 card and immediately begin leveraging its powerful remote management features. It significantly enhances server uptime, reduces the need for physical intervention, and streamlines data center operations.
