The iDRAC express shares one of the LOMs so, yes, mostly NIC1. You can open a browser from another machine on the network and connect to the default IP for the iDRAC (192.168.0.120). The Default idrac login/password is >root/calvin.
This will connect to the iDRAC web interface. You should change the password accordingly for security reasons. You will not be able to launch the virtual console to control the server directly as that is Enterprise feature.
Let us know you have further questions that we can assist with.

Hello,
The iDRAC Express does not have the Enterprise port to allow you to connect a dedicated NIC line. You'll have to purchase the Enterprise Adapter and License from Sales.
Let us know if you need further info.
