Setting Description
• Server Prole Only— Select this option to apply server prole assigned when a new
server is inserted in the chassis.
• Quick Deploy and Server Prole — Select this option to rst apply the iDRAC
network settings, and then to apply the server prole assigned when a new server is

Set iDRAC Root Password on
Server Insertion
Species whether a server’s iDRAC root password must be changed to the value
provided in the iDRAC Root Password eld when the server is inserted.
iDRAC Root Password When Set iDRAC Root Password on Server Insertion and QuickDeploy Enabled options
are selected, this password value is assigned to a server's iDRAC root user password
when the server is inserted into chassis. The password can have 1 to 20 printable
(including spaces) characters.
Conrm iDRAC Root Password Veries the password entered into the iDRAC Root Password eld.
Enable iDRAC LAN Enables or disables the iDRAC LAN channel. By default, this option is disabled.
Enable iDRAC IPv4 Enables or disables IPv4 on iDRAC. By default, this option is enabled.
Enable iDRAC IPMI over LAN Enables or disables the IPMI over LAN channel for each iDRAC present in the chassis. By
default, it is disabled.
Enable iDRAC DHCP Enables or disables DHCP for each iDRAC present in the chassis. If this option is enabled,
the elds QuickDeploy IP, QuickDeploy Subnet Mask, and QuickDeploy Gateway are
disabled, and cannot be modied since DHCP is used to automatically assign these
settings for each iDRAC. By default, this option is disabled.
Reserved QuickDeploy IP
Addresses
Enables you to select the number of static IPv4 addresses reserved for the iDRACs in the
chassis. The IPv4 addresses starting from Starting iDRAC IPv4 Address (Slot 1) are
considered as reserved and assumed to be unused elsewhere in the same network. Quick
Deploy feature does not work for servers that are inserted into slots for which there is no
reserved static IPv4 address. The maximum number of static IP Addresses reserved for:
• Qurter-height servers are 32 IP addresses.
• Half-height servers are 16 IP addresses.
• Full-height servers are 8 IP addresses.
NOTE: Note the following:
• The values of the number of IP addresses that are less than the minimum value
required for a server type are grayed out.
• If you select an option that is lesser than the default value of the number of IP
addresses reserved, an error message is displayed warning that reducing the
number of IP addresses prevents quick deploy of proles to higher capacity
servers.
• A warning message is logged in the CMC hardware log (SEL) and an SNMP alert
is generated.
• The quick deploy prompt on the LCD panel is not displayed if a higher capacity
server is inserted in lower locations when QuickDeploy feature is enabled. To see
the quick deploy option on the LCD panel for the higher capacity servers again
change the IP addresses value to the default value and reseat the higher
capacity servers.
NOTE:
Starting iDRAC IPv4 Address
(Slot 1)
Species the static IP address of iDRAC in the server, in slot 1 of the enclosure. The IP
address of each subsequent iDRAC is incremented by 1 for each slot from slot 1's static IP
address. In the case where the IP address plus the slot number is greater than the subnet
mask, an error message is displayed.
