20 DRAC 4 Overview
Supported Platforms, Operating Systems,
And Browsers
For a list of supported platforms, supported operating systems, and supported
browsers, see the Dell Systems Software Support Matrix on the Dell Support
website at support.dell.com on the Systems Management documentation
web page.
NOTE: The Console Redirection feature requires that you install a supported
Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM). For a list of the supported JVM plug-ins, see the
DRAC 4 readme on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com on the Systems
Management documentation web page.
CAUTION: The Virtual Media client requires that you use Microsoft Internet
Explorer
®
if using a Windows operating system.
Supported Web Browsers for 64-Bit Operating Systems
If your system is running a supported 64-bit operating system, install and run
a supported 32-bit Web browser. Otherwise, you may experience unexpected
results when running Virtual Media and other processes.
If your system is running a supported 64-bit version of Windows, the
supported 32-bit version of Internet Explorer is installed by default.
If your system is running a supported 64-bit version of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux, install the supported version of Mozilla or Mozilla Firefox. These Web
browsers are located on your operating system CD/DVDs that are included
with your system and on the Mozilla website located at
www.mozilla.org/download.html.
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 you
to install a plug-in for each distinct RAC IP/DNSname, even though the
plug-in versions are identical.
