4 Dell EMC OEM Identity Module | Installation Guide using CLI
1 Introduction
The Dell EMC OEM Identity Module enables OEMs to rebrand and customize their products. The Identity
module centralizes the control points of multiple features, enabling OEM customers to save time and
resources when deploying their systems.
You can install the OEM Identity Module using the following:
 Dell Remote Access Controller Admin utility
 RACADM — Remote RACADM or Local RACADM
 iDRAC web interface
This document describes the process of installing an OEM Identity Module on a Dell EMC enterprise system
using RACADM.
RACADM is a command-line interface for iDRAC, which allows for remote and local management of Dell
EMC servers. For more details on RACADM, see RACADM Command Line Interface for DRAC.
The target audience for this document is OEM customers and partners of Dell EMC who are looking for a
command line method of installing an Identity Module.
For installing the module using the iDRAC web interface, see Dell EMC OEM Identity Module Installation
Guide using iDRAC Web Interface.

earlier documentation.
