Problem with Dell 1955 Chasis DRAC Setup

Hi,

We have recently isntalled two used Dell 1955 Chasis with 1955 Blades.

I have been unable to connect with either of the two DRACs over the local area network.

I have used the jumpers on the DRACs to reset them, which I hope has reset the IPs to 192.168.0.120 which I believe to be the default.

I have powered down and powered up the chasis since reinstalling the DRAC after the reset.

If I ping this IP I just get a time out.

I have scanned the network and found there is a device which I believe to be the DRAC on this IP, so I have successfully reset the IP.

The network switch LEDs show that I have a 10/100 connection from the DRACs.

To prevent any conflict I have disconnected one of the two DRACs from the network.

I still can't ping the DRAC.

What I really want to do is access the DRAC via a web browser (only within the office - I'm not worried about external connections at the moment).

If I type in https:\\192.168.0.120 I just get a timeout. I have tried with both Firefox and IE.

I would be extremely grateful for any help at all. Once I get to the sign on screen I think I'll be OK, I just can't get the thing to connect.

Many thanks for any help at all.

Hello Jonathan

I suspect that the 192.168.0.120 address is the baseboard management controller(BMC). I'm not aware of a jumper to reset the DRAC, so I'm not sure what you reset. I would suggest booting to the DRAC BIOS via CTL D and configure the LAN settings.

Here is the user's guide for the DRAC: http://www.dell.com/support/Manuals/us/en/19/Product/dell-remote-access-cntrllr-mc-v1.3

Thanks
