# Dell iDRAC entries

Compare Dell iDRAC and Dell iDRAC (web) entries in Remote Desktop Manager to pick the right remote console or web management access method.

**Dell iDRAC** and ***Dell iDRAC (web)*** entries are sometimes mistaken for one another despite boasting different features and functionalities. To help differentiate them, the entry types are located in different sections of the ***Add new entry*** window (***Session*** and ***Remote management*** respectively).

### Dell iDRAC

A ***Dell iDRAC*** entry allows access to a Dell PowerEdge server remote console, granting control over the server regardless of its operating system or operating state.

### Dell iDRAC (web)

A ***Dell iDRAC (web)*** entry allows the user to connect and then sign in to an iDRAC web management portal. Consoles can be accessed from there as well, only with a more limited experience than if they were opened using a ***Dell iDRAC*** entry directly.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/knowledge-base/knowledge-base-articles/dell-idrac-entries.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
