software. This software package includes the necessary software components to run the Dell Digital
KVM viewer on your management station.
• To ensure that the Dell Digital KVM Viewer functions properly, open the following ports on your
firewall:
– Keyboard and mouse port (default is port 5900)

Installing and Removing RACADM on a Linux Management Station
To use the remote RACADM functions, install RACADM on a management station running Linux.
NOTE: When you run Setup on the Systems Management Consoles CD, the RACADM utility for all supported
operating systems are installed on your management station.
Installing RACADM
1 Log on as root to the system where you want to install the management station components.
2 If necessary, mount the Dell Systems Management Consoles CD using the following command or a
similar command:
mount /media/cdrom
3
Navigate to the /linux/rac directory and execute the following command:
rpm -ivh *.rpm
For help with the RACADM command, type racadm help after issuing the previous commands. For more
information about RACADM, see "Using the RACADM Command Line Interface."
Uninstalling RACADM
To uninstall RACADM, open a command prompt and type:
rpm -e <racadm_package_name>
where <racadm_package_name> is the rpm package that was used to install the RAC software.
