Options to manage the pre-operating system applications
Your appliance has the following options to manage the pre-operating system
applications:

l
Dell Lifecycle Controller
l
Preboot Execution Environment (PXE)
Note
EMC has optimized your appliance and it is not recommended to change any of these

iDRAC configuration
The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is designed to make appliance
administrators more productive and improve the overall availability of EMC appliances.
iDRAC alerts administrators to appliance issues, helps them perform remote appliance
management, and reduces the need for physical access to the appliance.

You can log in to iDRAC as:
l
iDRAC user

Microsoft Active Directory user

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) user
The default user name and password are

using Single Sign-On or Smart Card.

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 User's Guide at Dell.com/idracmanuals.

address by logging into iDRAC.
