iDRAC configuration
The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is designed to make you more productive as a system administrator and improve
the overall availability of Dell EMC servers. iDRAC alerts you to system issues, helps you to perform remote management, and reduces the
need for physical access to the system.
Options to log in to iDRAC
To log in into the iDRAC Web User Interface, open a browser and enter the address IP.
You can log in to iDRAC as:
•
iDRAC user
•
Microsoft Active Directory user
•
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) user
In the login screen displayed, if you have opted for secure default access to iDRAC, enter the iDRAC secure default password available on
back side of the Information Tag. If you have not opted for secure default access to iDRAC, enter the default user name and password –
root and calvin. You can also log in by using your Single Sign-On or Smart Card.
NOTE:
Ensure that you change the default user name and password after setting up the iDRAC IP address.
For more information about logging in to the iDRAC and iDRAC licenses, see the latest Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller User's
Guide at www.dell.com/idracmanuals.
