These servers are ideal for hosting websites, email, and a variety of other applications. You can manage all of your OVHcloud servers from the OVHcloud Control Panel.   ## Topics - [Navigating to your dedicated server](#navigating-to-your-dedicated-server) - [General information](#general-information) - [Network interfaces](#network-interfaces) - [Secondary DNS](#secondar-dns) - [Interventions](#interventions) - [IPMI/KVM](#ipmi-kvm) - [Tasks](#tasks) - [Tags](#tags)   ## Instructions **Warning:** **NOTE:** Some options shown below may not be available on [Eco servers](https://eco.us.ovhcloud.com/about-us/) (RISE, Kimsufi, and So You Start). ### Navigating to your dedicated server From the [OVHcloud Control Panel](https://manager.us.ovhcloud.com/), select your server via the `Bare Metal Cloud` and `Dedicated servers` menus. From here, you can see further details about your service by clicking its name or by clicking the _more options_ `...` button and selecting `Details`. You can also **Filter** your results and customize the **Columns** displayed.   ### General information Once you have selected your server, you will be taken to the `General information` tab, where you will see several panels. Each panel contains further details about your server, such as hardware, service status, and more. **General information** In the **General information** panel, you will see details about the name, operating system, and boot mode for your server. You can also see location-based information about your server. From here you can: - Edit the name of your server - Install/reinstall an OS ([see more](https://docs.us.ovhcloud.com/en/bare-metal-cloud/dedicated-servers/getting-started-dedicated-server-windows-linux.md)) - Change the boot mode ([see more](https://docs.us.ovhcloud.com/en/bare-metal-cloud/dedicated-servers/rescue-mode.md)) To get the internal name of your dedicated server via the OVHcloud API, you can use the following call: [GET /dedicated/server](https://api.us.ovhcloud.com/console/?section=/dedicated/server&branch=v1#get-/dedicated/server) #### Hardware The **Hardware** panel shows the CPU, RAM, and Disk specifications for your server. These will vary based on your server and any upgrades you selected. To retrieve these details via the OVHcloud API, use the following call: [GET /dedicated/server/{serviceName}/specifications/hardware](https://api.us.ovhcloud.com/console/?section=/dedicated/server&branch=v1#get-/dedicated/server/-serviceName-/specifications/hardware) #### Service status The **Service status** panel is where you will find the status of your server, whether monitoring is enabled or disabled, which services are monitored, and helpful links to view the status of the OVHcloud network at large. The _more options_ `...` button to the right of **Status** allows you to reboot your server or cancel the service. **Note:** For more information about OVHcloud Monitoring, please check out our [Overview of OVHcloud Monitoring](https://docs.us.ovhcloud.com/en/bare-metal-cloud/dedicated-servers/ovhcloud-monitoring-ip-addresses.md) article. If you scroll down further, you will see more panels. #### Network In the **Network** panel, you will find IPv4 and IPv6 addresses assigned to the server. You can also navigate to the "IP" section of the OVHcloud Control Panel and set up reverse DNS.

Then click `IP`. For information about Additional IPs, see [this guide](https://docs.us.ovhcloud.com/en/network/additional-ip/purchasing-managing-additional-ips.md). #### My offer The **My offer** panel is where you will find the renewal date, so you will always know when to expect your bill. You can also manage your [commitments](https://docs.us.ovhcloud.com/en/account/billing/manage-commitments.md) here. Additionally, it will tell you the date you created the service.

The type of work and when it was carried out will be listed. You can learn more about inventions in [this guide](https://docs.us.ovhcloud.com/en/bare-metal-cloud/dedicated-servers/faq-interventions-hardware-replacement.md).   ### IPMI/KVM If your server offers IPMI capabilities, you will see options to download a Java applet and/or HTML applet, which allows you to access your server via a remote KVM session. If IPMI is not offered with your dedicated server, this screen will be blank. For more information about IPMI, please check out our [How to use IPMI](https://docs.us.ovhcloud.com/en/bare-metal-cloud/dedicated-servers/use-ipmi-console.md) article.   ### Tasks This tab will track various tasks performed on your server, such as hard reboots, changing the boot mode, etc. It is a high-level log to help you administer your server.   ### Tags The tags tab is where you can create and view your tags.
