Selecting a Management Controller

For the dc5850 and 7900, the on-board network adapter is by default the primary management control-
ler. For systems supporting the full management capabilities, the user will have to manually set the Broad-
com NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Plus as the primary management controller in F10 Setup for it to control
DASH manageability. Multiple network adapters can function simultaneously, but only one Management
Controller can be active at a given time.
The primary Management Controller can be set through: F10 Setup > Advanced > Manageability
Devices.
