Configuring iDRAC from the LCD panel

The LCD panel on the front bezel (optional) has these three buttons for selecting, changing, and entering data:
  • ✓ = Enter
  • < = Move the selection to the left or decrease the value (depending on the context)
  • > = Move the selection to the right or increase the value (depending on the context)

We can assign iDRAC IP address by using LifeCycle controller, BIOS, and from the LCD panel.

  • NOTE: Changing iDRAC IP from the LCD panel will only be available on system with optional front bezel with LCD panel.
  1. Press ✓ to enter the system menu.
  2. Press > to select Setup and then press ✓.
  3. Select iDRAC, and press ✓.
  4. Press > to select StaticIP and press ✓.
    • NOTE: The LCD panel might display a default IP address. You need to change the numbers that differ from the static IP address you want to assign.
  5. Press > until you have selected a number that you want to change and then press ✓ to set the number.
  6. Press > to increase the value or < to decrease the value. When the correct number is displayed, press ✓.
  7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each additional number you need to change.
  8. When the static IP address is correct, press > until » is selected, and then press ✓.
  9. The LCD shows the default subnet mask (Sub). Use the instructions in steps 5 and 6 to modify values as needed.
  10. Press > until » is selected, and then press ✓.
  11. The LCD shows the default gateway IP address. Use the instructions in steps 5 and 6 to modify values as needed.
  12. Press > until » is selected, and then press ✓.
  13. The LCD displays if you want to set up DNS. This is recommended, as setting up DNS enables you to program network resources on the iDRAC based on DNS names, rather than requiring you to enter IP addresses.
    1. If you do not want to set up DNS, select No and press ✓ . . Then select Save and press ✓ . , configuration is complete.
    2. To set up DNS, select Yes, press ✓, and continue to the next step.
  14. The default DNS address (D1) is displayed on the LCD panel. Use the instructions in steps 5 and 6 to modify values as required.
  15. The LCD panel displays the default address for an alternate DNS server (D2). An alternate server is optional, however provides redundancy in case the primary DNS server fails. Use the instructions in steps 5 and 6 to modify values as required. If you do not want to configure an alternate server, set all values to zeros.
  16. When prompted to save, select Yes and press ✓.
    • NOTE: Settings are not applied until you press Yes to save. Also the display eventually times out and all unsaved configuration changes are lost.
