3. Type the iDRAC IP address, display name (optional), user name, and password in the appropriate elds.

NOTE: SupportAssist requires the user name and password to log in to the iDRAC and run a component that collects

the system information from the device and sends it securely to Dell. Therefore, the user name and password you

provide must have administrator rights on the iDRAC.

4. Click Add.

The Add Device window is displayed, prompting you to allow SupportAssist to congure the SNMP settings of the iDRAC.

NOTE: Conguring SNMP sets the alert destination of a device, and ensures that alerts from the device are

forwarded to the server running SupportAssist. The alert destination of the device is set to the IP address of the

server running SupportAssist.

NOTE: By default, the Congure SNMP option is selected on the Add Device window. The Install/Upgrade OMSA

option is disabled because OMSA is not required for monitoring the device through the agentless method.
