On 13
th
generation of the PowerEdge servers: OMM can access PowerEdge 13
th
generation servers through the Quick Sync
bezel. After connected, IT administrators can configure IP addresses, view server inventory, health status and logs, or power
cycle a server.
Quick Sync bezel is supported on PowerEdge R730, R730xd, and R630 servers.
NOTE: For at-the-server access, you must install the Quick Sync 2 module or the Quick Sync bezel.
NOTE: For at-the-chassis access, you must install the Quick Sync 2 module on MX7000.
● Access iDRAC or MX7000 remotely
OMM can access 12
th
, 13
th
, and 14
th
generation of the PowerEdge servers remotely over a secure, internal network from
anywhere. After connected, IT administrators can configure IP addresses and BIOS settings, share Dell EMC SupportAssist
reports, view server inventory, health status and logs, or power cycle a server.
When you access an MX7000 lead chassis remotely, you automatically get access to any of the member chassis and sleds.
Note that the access to MX7000 remotely happens through OpenManage Enterprise Modular running on that MX7000.
NOTE: Features vary by server-model and generation. To access iDRAC, OpenManage Enterprise remotely, there is no
additional hardware required other than the Android or IOS devices.
● Access servers remotely through OpenManage Enterprise console
OMM can connect to the PowerEdge servers through the OpenManage Enterprise—3.1. IT administrators can monitor all
systems-managed using OpenManage Enterprise including Dell EMC chassis, servers, storage, networking, and firewall
appliances and other OME-supported third-party hardware. OMM can also receive proactive notifications from OME
console.

Dell Remote Access Controller Administration CLI
The Remote Access Controller Administration (RACADM) command-line utility provides a scriptable interface to perform
inventory, configuration, update, and health status check of the PowerEdge servers. RACADM operates in multiple modes:
● Local—supports running RACADM commands from the managed server’s operating system.
● SSH or Telnet—known as firmware RACADM; is accessible by logging in to iDRAC using SSH or TELNET
● Remote—supports running RACADM commands from a remote management station such as a laptop or desktop.
RACADM is supported by iDRAC and by the Chassis Management Controller of the M1000e, VRTX, and FX2 modular systems.
Local and remote RACADM is supported on Windows Server, the Windows clients, and on Red Hat, SuSe, and Ubuntu Linux.
Using a text-based interface for all iDRAC functions, RACADM supports the viewing and changing of all server attributes. This
includes BIOS, iDRAC, PERC, NIC, and HBA settings as well as server cooling and power-status and settings. RACADM also
supports profile-based server configuration management, detailed hardware and firmware inventory, and access to server logs.
