iDRAC conguration
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 about system issues and enables them to perform remote system management.
This 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 rst congure the network settings based on your network
infrastructure.
NOTE
: For static IP conguration, you must request for it at the time of purchase.
This option is set to DHCP by Default. You can set up the IP address by using one of the following interfaces:

iDRAC through the shared LOM mode, if you have opted for a system that has the shared LOM mode enabled.
