With R720 and R720xd, the job of deploying, updating, monitoring, and maintaining the Select
Network Adapters is fast and easy. System management integration features include the following:
Pre-boot: Use the Dell Lifecycle Controller graphical user interface (GUI) to set configuration
such as bandwidth allocation or firmware revision level
Post-boot: Agent-free out-of-band or high-speed in-band connection over LOM through the
Operating System/BMC pass-thru feature for sensory information
Automation of firmware and driver version deployment upon component replacement
Automatic monitoring of NIC status and notification on SNMP traps
Local or remote re-configuration of any NIC, physical or virtual
