5. OpenManage Server Administrator
Dell OpenManage Server Administrator is included with all PowerEdge servers. It is a software package that provides server
monitoring and control functions similar to the some of the functions DRAC, however it runs as a service under the server
operating system. So it an in-band software management tool, unlike the BMC and DRAC tools, and is not useful for access
when the operating system has crashed or become unavailable.
Server Administrator can be accessed remotely using its web browser based interface, and with an Opengear gateway it can
also be accessed remotely out-of-band (using dial up, ISDN or broadband) if the main production network connection is not
available
Installing OpenManage Server Administrator on the PowerEdge
On the PowerEdge server, insert the OpenManage Systems Management CD that was shipped with your PowerEdge. If you
are running Windows, follow the prompts until you reach Select Components. Select OpenManage Server Administrator, accept
the default settings, and install. If you are running another operating system such as Linux, you may have to install the
appropriate package manually. Check the Dell supplied documentation for details.
Once installed, check the Server Administrator is running by opening a web browser on the PowerEdge server and browsing to
https://localhost:1311/ If the installation succeeded, the Server Administrator login page will be displayed. The credentials for
logging in are the same as your Windows username (e.g. Administrator) and password.
Configuring the Opengear gateway for Server Administrator access
Ensure your Opengear gateway is running firmware version 2.2.3 or later. The latest firmware is available from
ftp.opengear.com. To configure the Opengear gateway to permit access to Server Administrator:
 From the Serial & Network menu, select Network Hosts. Click Add Host. Enter the IP Address of the PowerEdge server
as displayed in Control Panel -> Network Settings -> Local Area Connection -> Properties, in this example we will assume it
is at 192.168.0.10
