Optional Local Control Panel
9715 Server      Show Part Numbers

This is the optional local control panel (LCP) that can be installed in the Gateway® 9715 server. The LPC provides an intelligent front panel for the server, which lets you configure the server, monitor system status, and control the server from the panel. The LCD panel has its own microcontroller and is independent of the operating system. Its 4 × 20 display provides information directly from the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) using the IPMB bus.
