 Pre-boot: Use the Dell Lifecycle Controller graphical user interface (GUI) to set configuration
such as bandwidth allocation or firmware revision level.
 Post-boot: Agent-free out-of-band or high-speed in-band connection over LOM through the
Operating System/BMC pass-thru feature for sensory information
 Automation of firmware and driver version deployment upon component replacement
