I have a followup question, but it will probably strike you as stupid. Having fallen in love with the DRAC I purchased on my PE2900, I decided I wanted one for my PE2600, so I purchased a remote-access daughterboard, but a) I don't know where it goes, and b) I can't see how I access it once I've installed it. My other DRAC has a network jack, but the daughterboard does not, so how do I connect the duaghterboard to the network to give it one of the static IPs I have just for this purpose?

Sadly, the older ERA/O was not quite the wonderful tool the DRAC 5 is.  It requires OS support (install OMSA) to get GUI console redirection to work, and the only virtual media is a mechanism to upload a floppy disk image to the ERA/O.  Otherwise though, it is a similar device.  It is still enough to be useful.

Thanks for the heads up. Is it enough to install just OMSA, or is there an ERA/0 module that must be installed as well for the console to work?

Thanks for taking time to reply. I have OMSA installed but still cannot get the console to work. I don't know if it's a firewall problem or something else and don't know where to start trouble-shooting. I agree about DRAC 5, and the ERA/0 is useful if only for its ability to remotely power the system on/off. But it sure would be nice to see the console.

There should be a RAC Win VNC service or something like that, and if it is installed and running, the console should work.  If the service is not installed, modify the OMSA install to add the RAC components.  If it is installed and not running, blame the firewall.  If it still doesn't work, blame the firewall or the browser.
