NOTE: The DRAC 5 default user name is root and the default password is
calvin.
You can access the DRAC 5 Web-based interface through the DRAC 5 NIC
by using a supported Web browser, or through Server Administrator or IT
Assistant.
See "Supported Web Browsers" for a list of supported Web browsers.
To access the DRAC 5 remote access interface using Server Administrator,
launch Server Administrator. From the system tree on the left pane of the
Server Administrator home page, click System→ Main System Chassis→
Remote Access Controller. For more information, see your Server
Administrator User’s Guide.
Telnet Console Provides access through the DRAC 5 to the server RAC
port and hardware management interfaces through the
DRAC 5 NIC and provides support for serial and
RACADM commands including powerdown, powerup,
powercycle, and hardreset commands.
NOTE: Telnet is an unsecure protocol that transmits all
data—including passwords—in plain text. When
transmitting sensitive information, use the SSH interface.
SSH Interface Provides the same capabilities as the telnet console
using an encrypted transport layer for higher security.
IPMI Interface Provides access through the DRAC 5 to the remote
system’s basic management features. The interface
includes IPMI over LAN, IPMI over Serial, and Serial
over LAN. See the Dell OpenManage Baseboard
Management Controller User’s Guide for more
information.
