iDRAC configuration
The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) allows administrators to be more productive and improve the overall
availability of Dell products. iDRAC alerts administrators to issues, perform remote management, and reduce the need for
physical access.
You can log in to iDRAC as the following users:
● iDRAC user
● Microsoft Active Directory user
● LDAP user
If secure default access to iDRAC is used, the iDRAC secure default password is available on the back of the appliance
Information tag. If you have not opted for secure default access to iDRAC, then the default user name and password are root
and calvin. You can also log in by using Dell SSO or Smart Card.
The following prerequisites are a must to log in to iDRAC:
