Remote Access Service 81
Adding and Configuring DRAC Users
NOTE: You must have Admin privileges in Server Administrator to use the Remote Access Service.
The DRAC can store information for up to 16 users. The Remote Access Service provides security by
requiring a user to provide a user name and password prior to establishing a remote connection. The
Remote Access Service can also provide paging services to notify users if the system crashes, loses power,
or experiences a defined list of other events. Paging services are only available for DRAC III cards.
NOTE: Some configuration capabilities are available only on systems with DRAC III, DRAC III/XT, ERA, and ERA/O,
and not on systems with DRAC 4 or DRAC 5. To configure DRAC 4 or DRAC 5, use the Launch Remote Connect
Interface option in the RAC Properties window. See the Dell Remote Access Controller 4 User’s Guide for more
information on using DRAC 4 or Dell Remote Access Controller 5 User’s Guide for more information on using
DRAC 5.
