Connecting to the DRAC/MC Using Microsoft Telnet for Telnet Console Redirection
Microsoft Telnet requires that you first enable Telnet in Windows Component Services. After
Telnet is enabled, connect to the DRAC/MC by performing the following steps:
1 Open a command prompt.
2 Type telnet <DRAC/MC IP address>:<port number> and press <Enter>
(where IP address is the IP address for the DRAC/MC and port number is the Telnet
port number if it has been changed from its default value of 23).
NOTE:
The DRAC/MC default IP address is 192.168.0.120.

console.

Using a Serial or Telnet Console

NOTE:
If you are running the Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 operating system and experience
problems in a DRAC/MC Telnet session, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 824810 on the
Microsoft Support site at support.microsoft.com for more information and an available hotfix.
NOTE:
On a Windows 2000 management station, pressing the <F2> key does not enter BIOS setup. To
resolve this problem, use the Telnet client supplied with the Windows Services for UNIX
from Microsoft. You can download Windows Services for UNIX 3.5 from
www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/downloads/default.asp.
You can type serial commands or RACADM CLI commands in a serial or Telnet console.
For more information, see "Using the DRAC/MC CLI Commands" in the Dell Remote Access
Controller/Modular Chassis User's Guide.
1 Click OK.
The DRAC/MC application displays a login screen on the console monitor.
2 Log into the DRAC/MC using the default username root and password calvin.
The DRAC/MC CLI command prompt DRAC/MC: is displayed.
3 If the system enclosure is powered off, power on the enclosure using the following DRAC/MC
CLI command:
racadm chassisaction -m chassis powerup
NOTE:
The Ethernet switch module inserted into the I/O bay is powered on automatically when the
system enclosure is powered on. For more information on configuring the system enclosure using the
DRAC/MC CLI interface, see the Dell Remote Access Controller/Modular Chassis User's Guide.
