2. Enter the proxy settings.
3. Click OK. The Storage Center attempts to contact the SupportAssist Update Server to check for updates.

Modify iDRAC Interface Settings for a Storage System
The iDRAC interface provides functions to help deploy, update, monitor and maintain the storage system.
About this task
CAUTION:
The iDRAC interface is intended for use by trained Dell Technical Support personnel for specific unique
circumstances. Certain features and functionality of iDRAC for storage products differs from Dell server products.
iDRAC can be configured so it can be used to perform out-of-band system management.
Steps
1. When you reach the Configuration Complete page, scroll down to Advanced Steps.
2. Click Modify BMC Settings. The Edit BMC Settings dialog box opens.
3. Select how to assign an IP Address to the iDRAC from the Configure via drop-down menu.
• To specify a static IP address for the iDRAC, select Static.
• To allow a DHCP server to assign an IP address to the iDRAC, select DHCP.
4. If you selected to specify a static IP address, specify the iDRAC IP address for the bottom storage controller and the top storage
controller.
NOTE:
Dell EMC recommends setting the iDRAC IP to a non-routeable address on your network (other than 0.0.0.0)
unless otherwise directed by Technical Support.
