® MegaRAC G4 Remote Management Controller The MegaRAC® G4 PCI-based remote management controller can be used in any server with a free PCI slot for sophisticated remote management. G4 provides out-of- band, lights-out manageability for BIOS-level system access and control, even when the OS is unavailable or the system is powered down. A 100% OS independent solution, G4 has the ability to provide high quality and high performance KVM redirection over the Internet. The MegaRAC G4 does not require any drivers or agents to be installed at the managed server.
