NOTICE: Using more than one DRAC 5 configuration tool at the same time may
generate unexpected results.

4 Configure the Web browser to access the Web-based interface. See

®
Automatic Reboot Option. See "Disabling the
Windows Automatic Reboot Option".
6 Update the DRAC 5 Firmware. See "Connecting to the Managed System
Through the Local Serial Port or Telnet Management Station (Client
System)".
7 Access the DRAC 5 through a network. See "Connecting to the Managed

Installing the Software on the Managed System
Installing software on the managed system is optional. Without the managed
system software, you cannot use the RACADM locally, and the DRAC cannot
capture the last crash screen.
To install the managed system software, install the software on the managed
system using the
Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD.
For instructions about how to install this software, see your Quick
Installation Guide.
