Hadosoft,
Unfortunately the remote functionality of the T20 is very limited. This is due to the server being designed as the most economical server option available. With the price savings you get, you also lose the remote management ability. Hardware wise the T20 is not that different from a desktop system, where as it is greatly different than most Poweredge models. One of those differences is the lack of a BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) as well as not having an iDrac (Dell Remote Access Card). Sorry that the answer likely isn't what you were wanting to hear.
Let me know if this helps clarify things for you.

Thank you for reply. This really total frustration. This machine has installed for a low budget company. All of server was used in mine practice has something remote management: iLO, BMC... I didn't expect that there is modern server where doesn't contain any remote control. This situation ***. :( Unfortunatelly, there has not wrote clearly in guide.
