Connecting to the
System Node Using the
iDRAC Port
Connecting to the iDRAC port allows access to the iDRAC main console,
which provides access to the root command prompt and the Service
Menu . The iDRAC main console also allows you to view the boot
process, and access the motherboard and RAID controller BIOS settings.
Note: Before attempting to connect to the iDRAC port, you can check
the current iDRAC port settings to make sure you are using the
correct settings. First connect to the DXi6902 Node using the
service port ( Connecting to the System Node Using the Service
Port on page 30). Then display the current iDRAC/IPMI port
settings (see Setup IPMI on page 35).
To connect to the DXi6902 using the iDRAC port:
1 Using an Ethernet cable, connect the Ethernet port on the service
laptop to the iDRAC port on the Node (see Figure 19 ).
2 Configure the laptop to use the following network settings:
• IP address - 10.17.21.50
• Subnet mask - 255.255.255.0
3 Open a Web browser and access the following IP address:
10.17.21.51
