Easy to manage
As an IT professional, you don't have extra time to spend on routine management and maintenance tasks. That's why the Dell systems-management portfolio focuses on two core principles to make your life easier: simplicity and cost-effectiveness.- Lifecycle ControllerIntegrated on the server, the optional Lifecycle Controller helps administrators perform provisioning functions, such as diagnostics, hardware configuration and system deployment in a pre-OS environment—all from a single interface called the Unified Server Configurator (USC). This helps eliminate excess CD/DVD media and helps get your server up and running fast.
- Dell Management ConsoleEnjoy a consolidated view of your IT infrastructure through the Dell Management Console, part of the Dell OpenManage portfolio and included with every Dell server.
- Optional interactive LCD screenThe PowerEdge R415 features an optional interactive LCD screen on the front of the server to ease setup, monitoring and maintenance. Plain-language diagnosis and a programmable messaging system can help you address issues quickly to simplify day-to-day monitoring.
- Automated updatesTo help ensure your systems stay running at their best, automatic update notifications from Support.Dell.com provide you the latest updates for firmware, drivers and BIOS.

 |  | Lifecycle Controller-enabled embedded managementEmbedded Management The optional Lifecycle Controller is the engine for advanced embedded management and is delivered as part of the optional iDRAC Express or iDRAC Enterprise in the PowerEdge R415. The Lifecycle Controller is a chip that is integrated on the server. It helps to simplify administrator tasks by performing a comprehensive set of provisioning functions such as system deployment, system updates, hardware configuration and diagnostics from a single intuitive interface called Unified Server Configurator (USC) in a pre-OS environment. This eliminates the need to use and maintain multiple pieces of disparate CD/DVD media.
