Setting up the system
Perform the following steps to set up the system:
Steps
1. Unpack the system.
2. Remove the I/O connector cover from the system connectors.
CAUTION:
While installing the system, ensure that it is properly aligned with the slot on the enclosure to
prevent damage to the system connectors.
3. Install the system in the enclosure.
4. Power on the sled.
Alternatively, you can also power on the system by using iDRAC by any of the below :
● For more information about powering on the system using iDRAC, see the
● Open OpenManage Enterprise-Modular (OME-M 1.3 or later versions), after the iDRAC is configured on the OME. For
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:
When XR8610t is installed in the XR8000r chassis, the power button LED indicator status may be delayed for
up to two minutes while the sled is initializing. The power button LED will start slowly blinking to indicate the system is
performing the power on sequence after this time period.
NOTE:
For information about managing the basic settings and features of the system, see the
management applications
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 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 interfaces in the table below. For information about setting up iDRAC IP
address, see the documentation links provided in the table below.
