DRAC 5 Overview
The Dell™ Remote Access Controller 5 (DRAC 5) is a systems management hardware and software solution designed to provide remote management capabilities, crashed system recovery, and power control functions for Dell systems.
By communicating with the system’s baseboard management controller (BMC), the DRAC 5 (when installed) can be configured to send you e-mail alerts for warnings or errors related to voltages, temperatures, intrusion, and fan speeds. The DRAC 5 also logs event data and the most recent crash screen (for systems running the Microsoft® Windows® operating system only) to help you diagnose the probable cause of a system crash.
The DRAC 5 has its own microprocessor and memory, and is powered by the system in which it is installed. The DRAC 5 may be preinstalled on your system, or available separately in a kit.
To get started with the DRAC 5, see "Installing and Setting Up the DRAC 5" on page 35.
What’s New in DRAC 5 in this Release?
For this release, DRAC 5 firmware version 1.30:
•Provides support for Microsoft Windows Server® 2008.
NOTE: Microsoft Windows Server 2008 is scheduled to be available in the first half of 2008. For the latest information, see http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/default.mspx.
•Enables Smart Card logon that provides a higher level of security by implementing the two-factor authentication.
•Provides advanced security options for the local DRAC administrator
•Provides advanced security options for the remote DRAC administrator
•Supports a new macro—<RightCtrl>+<ScrlLock><ScrlLock> key code sequence to initiate a crash dump of the Microsoft Windows operating system. For more information, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256986/.
DRAC 5 Overview |
|

|
NOTE: You must keep the <RightCtrl> key pressed during the additional keystrokes.
•Supports an option to allow users to specify LDAP or Global Catalog servers to handle user authentication.
•Provides the ability to specify a list of LDAP servers and Global Catalog servers.
•Removed support for SSL version 2.0.

Connectors
NOTE: The DRAC 5 hardware installation instructions can be found in the Installing a Remote Access Card document or the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide included with your system.
The DRAC 5 includes one onboard 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 NIC, a 50-pin management cable, and a 44-pin MII cable. See Figure 1-1 for the DRAC 5 cable connectors.
The 50-pin management cable is the main interface to the DRAC that provides connectivity to USB, serial, video, and an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) bus. The 44-pin MII cable connects the DRAC NIC to the system’s motherboard. The RJ-45 connector connects the DRAC NIC to an out-of- band connection when the DRAC 5 is configured in Dedicated NIC mode.
Using the management and MII cables, you can configure your DRAC in three separate modes, depending on your needs. See "DRAC Modes" on page 225 in "Using the RACADM Command Line Interface" on page 209 for more information.
DRAC 5 Ports
Table 1-2 identifies the ports used by the DRAC 5 that listen for a server connection. Table 1-3 identifies the ports that the DRAC 5 uses as a client. This information is required when opening firewalls for remote access to a DRAC 5.

DRAC 5 Security Features
The DRAC 5 provides the following security features:
•Two-factor authentication, which is provided by the Smart Card logon. The two-factor authentication is based on what the users have (the Smart Card) and what they know (the PIN).
•Advanced Security options for the DRAC administrator:
•The Console Redirection disable option allows the local system user to disable console redirection using the DRAC 5 Console Redirection feature.
•The local configuration disable features allows the remote DRAC administrator to selectively disable the ability to configure the DRAC 5 from:
–BIOS POST option-ROM
–operating system using the local racadm
–Dell OpenManage™ Server Administrator utilities
DRAC 5 Overview |
|
25 |
|
•User authentication through Microsoft Active Directory (optional) or hardware-stored user IDs and passwords
•Role-based authority, which enables an administrator to configure specific privileges for each user
•User ID and password configuration through the Web-based interface or RACADM CLI
•RACADM CLI and Web-based interface operation, which supports 128bit SSL encryption and 40-bit SSL encryption (for countries where 128 bit is not acceptable)
NOTE: Telnet does not support SSL encryption.
•Session time-out configuration (in seconds) through the Web-based interface or RACADM CLI
•Configurable IP ports (where applicable)
•Secure Shell (SSH), which uses an encrypted transport layer for higher security.
•Login failure limits per IP address, with login blocking from the IP address when the limit is exceeded.
•Limited IP address range for clients connecting to the DRAC 5

Disabling the Whitelist Feature in Mozilla Firefox
Firefox includes a "whitelist" feature that provides additional security. When the whitelist feature is enabled, the browser requires user permission to install plug-ins for each distinct site that hosts the plug-in. This process requires that you install a plug-in for each distinct RAC IP/DNS name, even though the plug-in versions are identical.
To disable the whitelist feature and avoid repetitive, unnecessary plugin installations, perform the following steps:
1Open a Firefox Web browser window.
2In the address field, type the following and press <Enter>: about:config
