Initial system setup and configuration
This section describes how to install your system, configure it using iDRAC, and how to reinstall the NAS operating system.
Topics:
• Setting up your system
• iDRAC configuration
Setting up your system
Follow these procedures to set up the system and configure the iDRAC IP address for system management.
1. Unpack the system.
2. If applicable, install the system into the rack.
3. Connect any peripherals to the system.For more information about installing the system into the rack, see the Setting up
your System poster for your system located at www.dell.com/storagemanuals.
4. Connect the system to its electrical outlet.
5. Turn on the system by pressing the power button or by using iDRAC.
6. Turn on the attached peripherals.
iDRAC configuration
The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is designed to make system administrators more productive and improve
the overall availability of Dell systems. iDRAC alerts administrators about system issues and enables them to perform remote
system management. This reduces the need for physical access to the system.
Options for setting up an iDRAC IP address
To enable communication between your system and iDRAC, you must first configure the network settings based on your
network infrastructure.
You can set up the iDRAC IP address using one of the following interfaces:
● iDRAC Settings utility
● Lifecycle Controller
● Dell Deployment Toolkit
For more information, see the Integrated Dell Remote Access Control User's Guide located at www.dell.com/idracmanuals.
You must use the default iDRAC IP address 192.168.0.120 to configure the initial network settings, including setting up DHCP or
a static IP for iDRAC.
NOTE:
To access iDRAC, ensure that you connect the ethernet cable to the dedicated NIC port. You can also access
iDRAC through the shared LOM mode, if you have opted for a system that has the shared LOM mode enabled.
Log in to iDRAC
You can log in to iDRAC using one of the following:
● an iDRAC local user account
● a Microsoft Active Directory user account
● as a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) user account
● Single sign-on or a Smart Card
