Configuring the DRAC/MC Module
This section includes general configuration information for the DRAC/MC module. For detailed
information on configuring the DRAC/MC and using the remote management features of the
DRAC/MC, see the
Dell Remote Access Controller/Modular Chassis User’s Guide.
DRAC/MC Module Features
The DRAC/MC provides serial and Ethernet management ports, a status indicator when
redundant DRAC/MCs are installed, and status indicators for the DRAC/MC (see Figure 1-4).
Table 1-1 provides information about the status indicators.
NOTICE:
The DRAC/MC must have a firmware version of 1.3 or later.
NOTICE:
To support redundant DRAC/MC operation, both modules must have firmware version 1.3 or
later. Mixing two DRAC/MC modules with firmware versions earlier than 1.3 may cause the enclosure to
power down I/O modules in bays I/O 3 and I/O 4 without user intervention. See "Updating the DRAC/MC
Module Firmware" on page 19 for information on updating the firmware.
