Initial system setup and configuration
This section describes the tasks for initial setup and configuration of the Dell EMC system. The section also provides general
steps to set up the system and the reference guides for detailed information.
Topics:
• Setting up the system
• iDRAC configuration
• Resources to install operating system
Setting up the system
Perform the following steps to set up the system:
Steps
1. Unpack the system.
2. Remove the I/O connector cover from the system connectors.
CAUTION:
While installing the system, ensure that it is properly aligned with the slot on the enclosure to
prevent damage to the system connectors.
3. Install the system in the enclosure.
4. Power on the enclosure.
NOTE: Wait for the enclosure to initialize before powering on the enclosure.
5. Power on the sled.
Alternatively, you can also power on the system by using iDRAC by any of the below :
● For more information about powering on the system using iDRAC, see the Options to log in to iDRAC.
● Open OpenManage Enterprise-Modular (OME-M 1.3 or later versions), after the iDRAC is configured on the OME. For
more information, see the OME-Modular User’s Guide at https://www.dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
For more information about setting up the system, see the Getting Started Guide that is shipped with your system.
NOTE:
For information about managing the basic settings and features of the system, see the Dell EMC PowerEdge
MX750c BIOS and UEFI Reference Guide on the product documentation page.
iDRAC configuration
The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is designed to make you more productive as a system administrator
and improve the overall availability of Dell EMC servers. iDRAC alerts you to system issues, helps you to perform remote
management, and reduces the need for physical access to the system.
Options to set up iDRAC IP address
To enable communication between your system and iDRAC, you must first configure the network settings based on your
network infrastructure. The network settings option is set to DHCP, by default.
NOTE: For static IP configuration, you must request for the settings at the time of purchase.
You can set up the iDRAC IP address using one of the following interfaces. For information about setting up iDRAC IP address,
see the documentation links provided in the table.
