I'd never heard of BMC (I am not an expert in this area, to put it mildly) but on googling for "dell bmc" I found <http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/power/ps1q05-20040219-Brumley.pdf> where I learnt that "The on-board baseboard management controller (BMC) is a powerful and flexible device that can be used to effectively manage eighth-generation Dell servers such as the PowerEdge 1850, PowerEdge 2800, and PowerEdge 2850." This suggests to me that my modest PowerEdge T105 probably does not support this service. How would I access it if it were available? I see a large number of BMC-related ports in /etc/services , but none of them seem to be active on my server.
