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.

Setting up and configuring the iDRAC IP address

You can set up the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) IP address by using one of the
following interfaces:
• iDRAC Settings utility
• Dell Lifecycle Controller
• Dell OpenManage Deployment Toolkit
• Server LCD panel
You can 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.
You can configure iDRAC IP address by using the following interfaces:
NOTE: Make sure that you change the default user name and password after setting up the iDRAC
IP address.
