Thank you for the service tag.
I'm not showing that a DRAC was sold with the system. It is possible that a DRAC was installed at a later time. I would start by checking to make sure a DRAC is installed. Page 80 of the manual is where the RAC installation instructions start. You can reference those instructions to see where the DRAC should be located if it is installed:

According to the 2950 manual, the option to enter the DRAC configuration during boot is CTL D. You should be able to configure the network settings in that menu. The DRAC has its own manual as well, you can find more information on the DRAC within that manual:
