What is Out-Of-Band (OOB) control?

Out-Of-Band (OOB) control is a device management option that provides users with remote device access, status recovery (for unresponsive devices), and control that is separate from the devices' primary network connection (In-Band). For OOB remote management, the device requires an extra module (that connects to its motherboard) and an Ethernet port. Click here for more information.
