iDRAC configuration
The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is designed to make appliance administrators more productive and
improve the overall availability of Dell appliances. iDRAC alerts administrators to appliance issues, helps them perform remote
appliance management, and reduces the need for physical access to the appliance.
Log in to iDRAC
You can log in to iDRAC as:
● iDRAC user
● Microsoft Active Directory user
● LDAP user
If you have opted for secure default access to iDRAC, the iDRAC secure default password is available on the back of the
appliance Information tag. If you have not opted for secure default access to iDRAC, then the default user name and password
are root and calvin. You can also log in by using Single Sign-On or Smart Card.
The following prerequisites are a must to log in to iDRAC:
● You must have iDRAC credentials.
● Ensure that you change the default user name and password after setting up the iDRAC IP address.
The iDRAC IP address is pre-configured for DHCP. This can be changed to a static IP address by logging into iDRAC.
● To access iDRAC, connect the network cable to the Ethernet connector 1 on the system board.
● Ensure that you change the default username and password after setting up the iDRAC IP address.
