Dell DR Series System Administrator Guide

Accessing iDRAC6/iDRAC7 Using RACADM

You can use SSH-based or Telnet-based interfaces to access iDRAC6/iDRAC7 using the RACADM utility. RACADM (remote access controller administration) is a Dell command-line utility that allows you to set up and configure the integrated Dell Remote Access Control (iDRAC) interface card to provide an out-of-band management capability.

The iDRAC card contains a controller with its own processor, memory, network connection, and access to the system bus. This gives system or network administrators the capability to configure a system as if they were sitting at the local console using the power management, virtual medial access and remote console capabilities, by using a supported web browser or command line interface.

The login values you can use for making iDRAC connections are:
  • Default username: root
  • Default password: calvin
  • Default static IP address: 192.168.0.120

For more information, see the RACADM Reference Guides for iDRAC , the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 6 (iDRAC6) User Guide , or the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 7 (iDRAC7) User Guide that are available at support.dell.com/manuals.
