Dell OpenManage Remote Assistant Card

The DRAC is an optional server management card designed to provide remote manage capabilities. With the addition of the DRAC, system administrators can manage and monitor a system through a modem or network connection, even when the system itself is down.

If you purchased a DRAC with your PowerVault 750N or 755N system, you will need to install the DRAC software as outlined in this chapter.

After the server software has been installed, you will need to install the DRAC Web Client software on the system that you plan to use as the DRAC client. This software is included on the Resource CD. See the DRAC documentation on the Resource CD for more information on how to install the DRAC Web Client software.

The DRAC must already be installed in your system. See the Dell OpenManage Remote Assistant Card User's Guide on the Resource CD for instructions on installing this card in your system.

To install and configure the DRAC software on your PowerVault 750N or 755N system using the Terminal Services Advanced Administration Menu, perform the following steps:

1Connect to the system through NAS Manager.

NOTE: To use the NAS Manager you must be logged in as Administrator. The NAS Manager default administrator user name is administrator and the default password is

powervault.

2Click Maintenance and then click Terminal Services.

3If required in the Terminal Services Client window, log in to the Terminal Services Client by entering your user name and password.

4Click the Advanced Administration Tool icon to access the Advanced Administration Menu.
