Dell OpenManage Remote Assistant Card
The DRAC 2 is an optional server management card designed to provide remote man-
age capabilities. With the addition of the DRAC 2, system administrators can manage
and monitor a system through a modem or network connection, even when the sys-
tem itself is down.
If you purchased a DRAC 2 with your PowerVault 735N system, you will need to install
the DRAC software as outlined in this chapter.
After the server software has been installed, you will need to install the DRAC Web
Client software on the system that you plan to use as the DRAC client. This software
is included on the
Dell PowerVault 735N Resource CD. See the DRAC documentation
on the
Dell PowerVault 735N Resource CD for more information on how to install the
DRAC Web Client software.
The DRAC 2 must already be installed in your system. See the
Dell OpenManage
Remote Assistant Card Version 2.3 (DRAC 2) User's Guide
on the Dell PowerVault
735N Resource
CD for instructions on installing this card in your system.
To install and configure the DRAC software on your 735N system using the Te r m i n a l
Services Advanced Administration Menu, perform the following steps:
1. Connect to the system through NAS Manager.
2. Click Maintenance and then click Terminal Services Advanced Client.
3. Click the Advanced Administration Menu icon.
