2. Type the number of each of the features you want to install and use comma to separate the numbers. For example, to install the sub-features, type 4.a, 4.b, 4.c and so on.
3. Type i to install the selected features. If you do not want to continue the installation, type q to quit the installation.
   NOTE After installing different features, you can also modify them.
4. To verify the iSM service status, run the command: systemctl status dcismeng.service.
   If iSM is installed and running, the status running is displayed.

   You must provide a unique port number in the range 1024 to 65535 if you want to install the iDRAC access via Host OS feature. If you do not provide a port number, port number 1266 or a previously configured port (if any) is assigned by default. If OpenManage Server Administrator is already installed on port 1311, the same port cannot be used for iSM.

   When iSM 3.4.0 or later is installed on Linux operating systems, a gnome warning is observed similar to: failed to rescan: Failed to parse /usr/share/applications/iDRACGUILauncher.desktop file: cannot process file of type application/x-desktop.
