Dell OpenManage Remote Assistant Card

The DRAC is an optional server management card designed to provide remote manage
capabilities. With the addition of the DRAC, system administrators can manage and
monitor a system through a modem or network connection, even when the system itself is
down.
If you purchased a DRAC with your PowerVault 750N or 755N system, you will need to
install the DRAC software as outlined in this chapter.
After the server software has been installed, you will need to install the DRAC Web Client
software on the system that you plan to use as the DRAC client. This software is included
on the Resource CD. See the DRAC documentation on the Resource CD for more
information on how to install the DRAC Web Client software.
The DRAC must already be installed in your system. See the Dell OpenManage Remote
Assistant Card User's Guide on the Resource CD for instructions on installing this card in
your system.
To install and configure the DRAC software on your PowerVault 750N or 755N system using
the Terminal Services Advanced Administration Menu, perform the following steps:
Connect to the system through NAS Manager.
