Support Matrix

• 2.xx.yy.zz

• xx is the iDRAC rmware version

• yy is the power & thermal table version

• zz is the Lifecycle Controller version

For 14

generation of Dell PowerEdge servers, the iDRAC and Lifecycle Controller rmware is a single image.

iDRAC ships from the factory with a default, static IP address, with either Express or Enterprise licenses. This is a preferred and known

method. However, Dell also oers two additional options to better t into a certain customer IT environments: DHCP or Provisioning

Server. Either of which can be set from the factory to allow you to access the iDRAC and remotely congure 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 Conguration 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 Cong or OpenManage Essentials Conguration 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.

iDRAC9 Management Trac – Dedicated NIC or Shared LOM

For certain 14th generation of Dell’s PowerEdge servers, you have the option to choose the network interface they wish to route iDRAC

trac – 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 trac 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 trac are:

• R740

• R740xd

• T640

• R940

• C6420

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.
