Users Guide

If you have not ordered your bare metal appliance to use Auto-Discovery from the factory, you can set it up manually. iDRAC
has two user interfaces, both are reached using the IP address of the iDRAC you want to set up.
On successful Auto-Discovery of bare-metal servers, the new administrator account is created or an existing account is enabled
with the credentials returned by the handshake service. All the other administrative accounts that were disabled prior to
Auto-Discovery are not enabled. Re-enable these administrator accounts after a successful Auto-Discovery. See Enabling or
Disabling Administrative Accounts on iDRAC.
NOTE: If for some reason the Auto-Discovery did not complete successfully, there is no way to connect to the iDRAC
remotely. Remote connection would require that you have enabled a nonadmin account on the iDRAC. If there is no enabled
account present on the iDRAC, then the only way to access the iDRAC is to login to the box locally and enabling the
account on the iDRAC.
