more information, see the OME-Modular User's Guide at https://www.dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
For more information about setting up the system, see the Getting Started Guide that is shipped with your system.
NOTE:
For information about managing the basic settings and features of the system, see the Dell EMC PowerEdge
MX750c BIOS and UEFI Reference Guide on the product documentation page.
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 set up iDRAC IP address
To enable communication between your system and iDRAC, you must first configure the network settings based on your
network infrastructure. The network settings option is set to DHCP, by default.
NOTE:
For static IP configuration, you must request for the settings at the time of purchase.
You can set up the iDRAC IP address using one of the following interfaces. For information about setting up iDRAC IP address,
see the documentation links provided in the table.
