Configure iDRAC during the pre-boot power-on self-test (Post) phase.

After initial set-up and configuration of iDRAC settings, you can access it through the iDRAC web interface.
Note: BlueCat GEN4 and GEN5 appliances support iDRAC9 Enterprise, which includes remote access via web browser to the virtual console.
Assign a static IPv4 or IPv6 address to the iDRAC port using the iDRAC Configuration Utility directly on the appliance. You can then use this IP address to connect to iDRAC remotely via the iDRAC web interface.
Note: The iDRAC port can also be assigned an IP address via DHCP. To view this address, check your DHCP server status logs. If the iDRAC port doesn't have an IPv4 address, DHCP might have been disabled. Connect to the Configuration Utility on your appliance to set a static IP address or re-enable DHCP.

To access the iDRAC Configuration Utility:

  1. Power on or restart the appliance by removing the front cover and pressing the power switch on the front panel.
    During the preboot phase, wait until the following text appears in the Configuration Utility window:
    F2 = System Setup
  2. Press F2. The BlueCat System Setup menu opens, displaying the following options: 
    System Setup Main Menu

System BIOS
iDRAC Settings
Device Settings
    Note: If you don't see the iDRAC Configuration Utility window, allow the system to finish booting, restart your appliance, and then try again.
