There are a number of steps involved in setting this up; fortunately the new iDRAC 7.0 user guide at support.dell.com/.../ug.pdf covers them all!
The guide covers a number of capabilities and configurations that can be Here is a high-level overview of the necessary configuration changes:
• Configure BIOS serial console redirection on COM2 (pp71-72)
• Configure iDRAC to use serial-on-LAN (p72)
• Enable SSH to the iDRAC (p73)
• Configure SSH client (PuTTY) for proper terminal emulation (p74)
• Configure the boot loader to use the serial console (pp78-79)
• Configure the kernel to display on the serial console (p78)
• Configure a login on the serial console (p79-80)
