Provisioning Server. Either of which can be set from the factory to allow you to access the iDRAC and remotely congure your
server. Only one setting is possible There is no charge for any of these options.
• Static
iDRAC will ship with the factory default static IP address 192.168.0.120
• DHCP
This option is for customers who have a Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP) server already installed in their data
center environment. The DHCP server can automatically assign the IP address, gateway, and subnet mask to a server’s iDRAC .
DHCP should also be selected if using iDRAC Auto Cong or OpenManage Essentials Conguration Manager to automate server
provisioning. Please select this option if you would like to ensure that this feature is enabled at the Dell factory. Again, there is no
charge to enable the “DHCP” option at time of order.
• Provisioning Server
The Provisioning Server option is for customers that have some type of provisioning server already installed in their data center
environment. A provisioning server manages and automates the deployment or upgrade of an operating system and applications
to a Dell PowerEdge server. By enabling the “Provisioning Server” option, the servers will — upon rst boot — search for a
provisioning server to take control and begin the automated deployment or update process. Please select this option if you would
like to ensure that this feature is enabled at the Dell factory. Again, there is no charge to enable the “Provisioning Server” option
at time of order.
iDRAC8 Management Trac – Dedicated NIC or Shared LOM
For certain 13th generation of Dell’s PowerEdge servers, you have the option to choose the network interface they wish to route
iDRAC trac – either the default Dedicated NIC for the iDRAC itself or through the Shared LOM that is also used by the server.
Dell recommends to place the iDRAC’s on a separate management network for best iDRAC security. However, you can also route
iDRAC management trac over the shared LOM. Select the shared LOM option if you may want to ensure that this feature is
enabled at the Dell factory. There is no additional charge to enable shared LOM at the time of order. The servers which support the
option of selecting shared LOM for iDRAC management trac are:
• R730
• R730xd
• T630
• R630
• FC630
• FC830
DRAC also logs event data and the most recent crash screen (for systems running the Microsoft Windows operating system only) to
help diagnose the probable cause of a system crash.
