ssh into Power Edge server

Question

Hello, I have a Power Edge T630 with iDRAC8 Express, the OS is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Currently I am able to ssh using the drac ip and from the admin1 prompt I can use console com2 to gain access to the OS text console. So far however I have failed to establish ssh connections using the IP of the machine (rather than the DRAC's IP), and I always have to go through the DRAC and console redirection to launch my Ubuntu applications. Is it actually possible to ssh into the server without going the DRAC route? If not is there an automated way to execute local scripts and retrieve outputs using DRAC + console redirection? I am new to servers and just reaching that stage has been a struggle: in advance apologies if this is a naive/trivial question! In advance thank you very much.

You have to configure your OS to accept SSH connection.
