Installation Manual

• iDRAC is configured to use dedicated NIC or shared mode (that is, NIC selection is assigned to one of the LOMs).

• Host operating system and iDRAC7 are in the same subnet and same VLAN.

• Host operating system IP address is configured.

• A card that supports OS to iDRAC pass-through capability is installed.

• You have Configure privilege.

When you enable this feature:

• In shared mode, the host operating system's IP address is used.

• In dedicated mode, you must provide a valid IP address of the host operating system. If more than one LOM is active,

enter the first LOM’s IP address.

After enabling OS to iDRAC Pass-through feature, if it is not working:

• Check whether the iDRAC's dedicated NIC cable is connected properly.

• Make sure that at least one LOM is active.
