The newer 11th Generation systems, like the R210 will have an iDRAC Express instead of a BMC like in 9th Generation systems. The following link will show you a comparison of features between the integrated iDRAC and the iDRAC Enterprise. The iDRAC Enterprise will offer advance features like Remote Console.

From my chat with a dell rep, you have to go from BMC to express then to enterprise. Dell does, however, sell a package that has both express and enterprise in one package. I believe it's the same price too.
