iDRAC Connection
The iDRAC connection requires a network connection between the integrated Dell Remote Access Control (iDRAC)
management port on the DR Series system and another computer running the iDRAC remote console session in a
supported browser. The iDRAC provides remote console redirection, power control, and the out-of-band (OOB) system
management functions for the DR Series system. iDRAC connections are configured using console redirection and the
iDRAC6/7 web interface. The login values you can use for making iDRAC connections are:
Default username: root
Default password: calvin
Default static IP address: 192.168.0.120
For information on how to configure the iDRAC, see the Dell RACADM Reference Guides at support.dell.com/manuals
and Accessing iDRAC6/iDRAC7 Using RACADM.
When the Dell DR Series System splash screen is displayed, you are ready to begin initialization using the DR Series
system CLI login process. For more information, see Logging in and Initializing the DR Series System.
Logging in and Initializing the DR Series System
Use the DR Series system CLI and the Initial System Configuration Wizard to log in to and initialize the system. After
completing a local console or iDRAC connection, log in to the DR Series system CLI:
1. Launch a terminal emulator application (like PuTTY), and type the default IP address for the DR Series system (if
you are not using iDRAC or local console).
2. At the login as: prompt, type administrator, and press <Enter>.
3. At the administrator@<system_name> password: prompt, type the default administrator password (St0r@ge!), and
press
<Enter>.
The Initial System Configuration Wizard window is displayed.

4. To configure the network settings, type y (for yes), and press <Enter>.
5. To configure the use of the default IP address that ships with the system, choose to use static IP addressing.
To do this, at the DHCP prompt, type no (this selects static IP addressing), and press <Enter>.
: When you select static IP addressing, you are prompted to type the static IP address (for example, you
could use the default IP, 10.77.88.99) for the system, and press <Enter>. If your network supports the use of
DHCP, type yes at the DHCP prompt, press <Enter>, and respond to any prompts.
6. To configure a subnet mask address, type the subnet mask address you want to use (for example, you could use
the default subnet mask address, 255.0.0.0), and press <Enter>.
