Launching IT Assistant

After IT Assistant is installed, to launch IT Assistant, do one of the following:

• Double-click the IT Assistant icon on your desktop.

• Open a supported Web browser (see the

Dell Systems Software Support

Matrix

support.dell.com/manuals

for the latest supported browsers)

and connect to the IT Assistant management station by typing the

following in the Address bar:

https://<IT Assistant hostname>:

NOTE: The default IT Assistant port number is 2607.

NOTE: You can also access the browser-based user interface of IT Assistant

from a remote system using the above method.

If you access the IT Assistant UI from a system running supported

Windows operating system that does not have a minimum supported Java

Runtime Environment (JRE) version 6 update 21, then IT Assistant

automatically starts JRE installation on that system.

NOTE: If the system that accesses the IT Assistant user interface has JRE

version 6.0, then IT Assistant does not automatically update the JRE to version 6

update 21. In this case, update the JRE version manually by pointing the

browser to https://<host name>:<port number>/jre-6u21-windows-i586.exe.
