USB-redirection is the mechanism the Broadcom NetXtreme™ Gigabit Ethernet Plus controller uses to support the USB Redirection Profile. USB-redirection is a DASH 1.1 feature that allows the contents of a remote media source (ISO image) to be redirected to the remotely managed PC as a USB mass storage device. Appendix B: Enabling Management Functionality with Computer Setup When the Broadcom NetXtreme™ Gigabit Ethernet Plus add-in card is installed into a system, it will not be the default management controller (except on the dc5850 where the controller will be the default and will only support ASF management functions). For systems supporting the full management capabilities, the user may manually set the Broadcom NetXtreme™ Gigabit Ethernet Plus as the primary management controller in Computer Setup (F10) for the PCI Express network adapter to perform the role of DASH manageability. Multiple network adapters can function simultaneously, but only one management controller can be active at a given time. Computer Setup Differences The Computer Setup screens relating to management devices and modes differ slightly between various HP business desktops and workstations. The primary management controller can be configured through: Computer Setup > Advanced > Management Devices. The current management mode (ASF, AMT, or DASH) can be identified via Computer Setup > File > System Information. HP Compaq dc5850 Business PC By default, the embedded Broadcom Ethernet controller is primary management controller. The Broadcom NetXtreme™ Gigabit Ethernet Plus must be changed to be the primary management controller for DASH to be enabled.
