[ILUG] Dell Poweredge 2650 LCD display

The word from my weeboys in the know:
This is our internal list

Ahh, but the user can't display something at runtime (i.e. a changing load
average).

Actually it is user-accessible to a point.  You can access it in the bios
and provide two user defined strings that will appear during NORMAL
operations ie. when the backlight is blue.  For example some customers use
it to display the name of the server and/or the service tag.

The LCD is not user-accessible, no.  Much as customers want this, services
and support people have generally frowned upon allowing such, thinking it
would lead to a higher call volume.

So no you can't is the official word.
