My bad. I'm still getting up to speed with the Dell server management components, from the Lifecycle Controller to the USC and UEFi it's a bit blurry. I'm pretty certain the BMC has a different name since that acronym isn't on the R710 or R610's I have.
PS. Gotta give credit where credit is due: if you're referring to the picture associated with my gmail account, that's Paul Newman from Road to Perdition. Love the movie, character, sartorial aesthitic and Era as a whole.
