UNSOLVED
Does C6105 have built-in DRAC that can do remote media and GUI console access?
I'm used to having DRAC in older systems and had been assuming that this exists on pretty much every Dell Server -- but now I have doubts. Can any of you comment if C6105 (2U chassis with 4 servers in it) servers have the out of band management functionality equivalent of DRAC where I can mount ISO file and access the GUI console to drive a manual OS deployment?
Thanks.

Hello BarisEris,
C6105 have no iDRAC but they have BMC (less features but very usefull) instead.
You can configure the IP address of the BMC through BIOS and you can have it either with Shared-NIC or Dedicated (you have to plug an extra UTP cable). I highly recommend Dedicated. Open the BMC from a web browser and you are ready. It provides a remote console where you can also redirect ISOs.
