Introduction

The HP Any ware Remote System Controller and HP Any ware Integrated Remote System Controller are remote management peripherals meant to provide out-of- band management to Z Desktop Workstations and select HP Engage Retail Systems. The two different brand names refer to two different form factors of essentially the same product, but with some important differences between the two that are further described later in this document. The HP Any ware Remote System Controller is an external device, and the HP Any ware Integrated Remote System Controller is an internal PCIe device. Both are compatible with most compute devices1 as an IP KVM2 (including Macs) as long as the said compute device has available USB type-A ports and display outputs, but the HP Any ware Remote System Controller (external device) is recommended for use with other compute devices.

Although they are both compatible with other compute devices, users achieve a significantly more advanced feature set when pairing the HP Any ware Remote System Controller or HP Any ware Integrated Remote System Controller with Z by HP Desktop Workstation and select HP Engage Retail Systems.

There are various software methods to interface with the HP Any ware Remote System Controller and HP Any ware Integrated Remote System Controller to enable remote management of entire fleets of remote compute devices. These software methods are described briefly in the ‘Software Overview’ section of this document, but this document focuses primarily on the hardware devices.
NOTE: When this document refers to both the HP Any ware Remote System Controller and HP Any ware Integrated Remote System Controller, it may combine the two as such: HP Any ware (Integrated) Remote System Controller. Remote System Controller may be abbreviated as RSC.

HP Any ware Integrated Remote System Controller not compatible with Z2 Mini platforms and not recommended for non-Z devices. HP service and support not available for non-Z devices. Full suite of hardware alerts available with select Z desktop workstations. See datasheet for details.
IP KVM refers to the ability to remotely interface with the host machine with keyboard, monitor and mouse control over a network.
Only the Integrated Remote System Controller has been qualified with select HP Engage Retail Systems.
