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 install the iDRAC port card or connect the network cable to the Ethernet

connector 1 on the system board.

NOTE: Ensure that you change the default user name and password after setting up the iDRAC IP address.

NOTE: In case of blade servers, you can configure the network setting by using the Chassis LCD panel only during initial

configuration of CMC. After the chassis is deployed, you cannot reconfigure iDRAC by using the Chassis LCD panel.

You can log in to iDRAC as:

● iDRAC user

● Microsoft Active Directory user

● Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) user

The default user name and password are root and calvin. You can also log in by using Single Sign-On or Smart Card.

NOTE: You must have iDRAC credentials to log in to iDRAC.

For more information about logging in to iDRAC and iDRAC licenses, see the latest Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller
