On servers with Windows 2008 SP2 64-bit operating system, the iDRAC Virtual CD USB Device is not discovered automatically (or enabled). You must enable this manually. For more information, see steps recommended by Microsoft to manually update the Remote Network Driver Interface Specification (RNDIS) driver for this device.

For Linux operating systems, configure the USB NIC as DHCP on the host operating system before enabling USB NIC.

If the host operating system is SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11, then after enabling the USB NIC in iDRAC, you must manually enable DHCP client on the host operating system. For information to enable DHCP, see the documents for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 operating systems.

For vSphere, you must install the VIB file before enabling USB NIC.

For the following operating systems, if you install the Avahi and nss-mdns packages, then you can use https://idrac.local to launch the iDRAC from the host operating system. If these packages are not installed, use https://169.254.0.1 to launch the iDRAC.
