Configure iDRAC
About this task
The PowerProtect system requires that the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is configured for system upgrade
and maintenance operations. Additionally, the system supports the use of iDRAC to change security settings, and remotely
power the system on and off.
CAUTION:
Do not use iDRAC to change the storage configuration, system settings, or BIOS settings, as making
changes will impact system functionality. Contact Support if changes are required in any of these areas.
The system uses the following key mapping for console redirection over serial connections:
Use the <ESC><1> key sequence for <F1>
Use the <ESC><2> key sequence for <F2>
Use the <ESC><3> key sequence for <F3>
Use the <ESC><0> key sequence for <F10>
Use the <ESC><!> key sequence for <F11>
Use the <ESC><@> key sequence for <F12>
Use the <ESC><Ctrl><M> key sequence for <Ctrl><M>
Use the <ESC><Ctrl><H> key sequence for <Ctrl><H>
Use the <ESC><Ctrl><I> key sequence for <Ctrl><I>
Use the <ESC><Ctrl><J> key sequence for <Ctrl><J>
Use the <ESC><X><X> key sequence for <Alt><x>, where x is any letter key, and X is the
upper case of that key
Use the <ESC><R><ESC><r><ESC><R> key sequence for <Ctrl><Alt><Del>
