Initial system setup and configuration

Setting up your system

Complete the following steps to set up your system:
Steps
1. Unpack the blade.
2. Remove the I/O connector cover from the blade connectors.
CAUTION: While installing the blade, ensure that it is properly aligned with the slot on the enclosure to prevent
damage to the blade connectors.
3. Install the blade in the enclosure.
4. Turn on the enclosure.
NOTE: Wait for the chassis to initialize before you press the power button.
5. Turn on the blade by pressing the power button on the blade.
Alternatively, you can also turn on the blade by using:
• The blade iDRAC. For more information, see the Log in to iDRAC section.
• The enclosure Chassis Management Controller (CMC), after the blade iDRAC is configured on the CMC. For more information, see
the CMC User's Guide at Dell.com/idracmanuals.

iDRAC configuration

The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is designed to make system administrators more productive and improve the
overall availability of Dell systems. iDRAC alerts administrators to system issues, helps them perform remote system management, and
reduces the need for physical access to the system.

Options to set up iDRAC IP address

You must configure the initial network settings based on your network infrastructure to enable the communication to and from iDRAC.
You can set up the IP address by using one of the following interfaces:
