Locating the information tag of your system
Your system is identified by a unique Express Service Code and Service Tag number. You can view the Express Service Code
and Service Tag by pulling out the information tag located on the front of the system. Alternatively, the information may be on
the Mini Enterprise Service Tag (MEST) label on the chassis, on the rear of the system. This information is used by Dell to route
support calls to the appropriate personnel.

Initial system setup and configuration
Topics:
•Setting up your system
iDRAC configuration
•
•Options to install the operating system
Setting up your system
Perform the following steps to set up your system:
Steps
1. Unpack the system.
2. Connect the peripherals to the system.
3. Connect the system to its electrical outlet.
4. Power on the system by pressing the power button or by using iDRAC.
5. Power on the attached peripherals.
For more information about setting up your system, see the Getting Started Guide that shipped with your system.

iDRAC configuration
The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is designed to make system administrators more productive and improve
the overall availability of Dell systems. iDRAC alerts administrators about system issues and enables them to perform remote
system management. This reduces the need for physical access to the system.
Options to set up iDRAC IP address
To enable communication between your system and iDRAC, you must first configure the network settings based on your
network infrastructure.
NOTE: For static IP configuration, you must request for it at the time of purchase.
This option is set to DHCP by Default. You can set up the IP address by using one of the following interfaces:
Interfaces
iDRAC Settings
utility
Dell Deployment
Toolkit
Dell Lifecycle
Controller
NOTE: To access iDRAC, ensure that you connect the ethernet cable to the iDRAC9 dedicated network port. You can also
access iDRAC through the shared LOM mode, if you have opted for a system that has the shared LOM mode enabled.

16Initial system setup and configuration
Log in to iDRAC
You can log in to iDRAC as:
● iDRAC user
● Microsoft Active Directory user
● Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) user
If you have opted for secure default access to iDRAC, you must use the iDRAC secure default password available on the system
Information tag. If you have not opted for secure default access to iDRAC, then use the default user name and password –root
and ca lvi n. You can also log in by using your Single Sign-On or Smart Card.
NOTE: You must have the iDRAC credentials to log in to iDRAC.
NOTE: Ensure that you change the default username and password after setting up the iDRAC IP address.
For more information about logging in to the iDRAC and iDRAC licenses, see the latest Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller
User's Guide at www.dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
You can also access iDRAC by using RACADM. For more information, see the RACADM Command Line Interface Reference
Guide at www.dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
Options to install the operating system
If the system is shipped without an operating system, install a supported operating system by using one of the following
resources:
