Dell EMC VxRail P470 - Idrac Configuration; Log in to Idrac; Idrac Settings Utility

iDRAC configuration
The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is designed to make appliance administrators more productive and improve the
overall availability of Dell EMC 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
• Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) user
The default user name and password are root and calvin. You can also log in by using Single Sign-On or Smart Card.
NOTE: You must have iDRAC credentials to log in to iDRAC.
For more information about logging in to iDRAC and iDRAC licenses, see the latest Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller User's Guide
at Dell.com/idracmanuals.
The iDRAC IP address is pre-configured for DHCP. This can be changed to a static IP address by logging into iDRAC.
NOTE
:
• To access iDRAC, connect the network cable to the Ethernet connector 1 on the system board.
• Ensure that you change the default user name and password after setting up the iDRAC IP address.
iDRAC Settings utility
The iDRAC settings utility is an interface to set up and configure the iDRAC parameters by using UEFI. You can enable or disable various
iDRAC parameters by using the iDRAC settings utility.
NOTE
: Accessing some of the features on the iDRAC settings utility needs the iDRAC Enterprise License upgrade.
