Power Control

You can use software to turn on and off power to some Oracle systems. The power distribution
units (PDUs) for some system cabinets can be enabled and disabled remotely. Authorization for
these commands is typically set up during system configuration and is usually limited to system
administrators and service personnel.
Refer to your system or cabinet documentation for further information.

Asset Tracking

Use serial numbers to track inventory. Oracle embeds serial numbers in firmware on option
cards and system motherboards. You can read these serial numbers through local area network
(LAN) connections.
