iDRAC configuration
The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is designed to make system administrators
more productive and improve the overall availability of Dell systems. iDRAC alerts administrators to
system issues, helps them perform remote system management, and reduces the need for physical
access to the system.
Options to set up iDRAC IP address
You must configure the initial network settings based on your network infrastructure to enable the
communication to and from iDRAC. You can set up the IP address by using one of the following
interfaces:

You must use the default iDRAC IP address 192.168.0.120 to configure the initial network settings,
including setting up DHCP or a static IP for iDRAC.
Note:
To access iDRAC, ensure that you install the iDRAC port card or connect the network
cable to the Ethernet connector 1 on the system board.
Note: Ensure that you change the default user name and password after setting up the iDRAC
IP address.
