Connections for a DR4000 System

There are two methods of connecting to the system to login and perform the
initial system configuration using the DR4000 system CLI:
• Local console connection: this is a local access connection between a
local workstation where one connection is made to a USB keyboard port
on the DR4000 front/rear chassis, and another connection is made to the
VGA monitor port on the system rear chassis. (See Figure 3-1 and "Local
Console Connection" on page 14.)
• iDRAC connection: this is a remote access connection where a
connection is made between an integrated Dell Remote Access
Controller (iDRAC) and the dedicated management port on the
DR4000 system rear chassis. (See Figure 3-1 for location and "iDRAC
Connection" on page 15.)

Initializing the DR4000 System

Before you can start using the DR4000 system user interface, you must:
1 Log in to the DR4000 system CLI by using a local console KVM
(keyboard-video monitor) connection. For more information, see "Local
Console Connection" on page 14.
2 Configure your system network settings using the Initial System
Configuration Wizard. For more information, see "Logging in and
Initializing the DR4000" on page 16.
The Initial System Configuration Wizard lets you configure the following
network settings to complete the first-time initialization of your system:
• IP addressing mode
• Subnet mask address
• Default gateway address
• DNS suffix address
• Primary DNS server IP address
• (Optional) Secondary DNS server IP address
• Host name for system
