Hello there,

This is my first time setting up a server of any kind, so please excuse any basic questions! I recently received a Poweredge t140 with idrac9 basic. I believe that even with the basic license I can still connect to the web gui, but for some reason, I cannot. I plugged both ethernet ports into the back of my fios router (the ports are blinking) and then in google chrome, I typed in the IP address that I assigned through lifecycle. But Chrome keeps telling me the site cannot be reached and I cannot even ping the IP address because it keeps timing out. 

So questions I have:

Do I need to have a specific IP address in order to connect to idrac?

Do I plug the idrac ethernet cable into my fios router?

Do I need to do anything to my fios settings?

Why won't it work (please do not point me to more dell websites I've studied those for hours and they didn't help)?

Thanks!
