Basic Installation of the DRAC 5 39
Managed system software installs your choices from the appropriate version
of Dell OpenManage Server Administrator on the managed system.
NOTE: Do not install the DRAC 5 management station software and the DRAC 5
managed system software on the same system.
CAUTION: The latest DRAC firmware supports only the latest RACADM version.
You may encounter errors if you use an older version of RACADM to query a DRAC
with the latest firmware. Install the RACADM version shipped with your latest
Dell OpenManage DVD media.
If Server Administrator is not installed on the managed system, you cannot
view the system’s last crash screen or use the Auto Recovery feature.
For more information about the last crash screen, see "Viewing the Last
System Crash Screen" on page 283.
Installing the Software on the Management
Station
Your system includes the Dell OpenManage Systems Management Software
Kit. This kit includes, but is not limited to, the Dell Systems Management
Tools and Documentation DVD. For information about installing Server
Administrator software, see your Server Administrator User's Guide.
