Installing the DRAC 4 Hardware
NOTE: The DRAC 4 connection emulates a USB keyboard connection. As a result,
when you restart the system, the system will not notify you if your keyboard is
not attached.
The DRAC 4 may be preinstalled on your system, or available separately in a
kit. To get started with the DRAC 4 that is already installed on your system,
see "Software Installation and Configuration Overview."
If a DRAC 4 is not installed on your system, see the Installing a Remote Access
Card
document that came with your DRAC 4 kit or see your platform
Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for hardware installation instructions
before proceeding.
NOTE: Removing expansion cards, such as the DRAC 4, is documented in the
Installation and Troubleshooting Guide that is included with your system.
