Short, concise, clear, and very to the point. Thank you very much.

Would you be to show a video with a direct physical connection then using putty to establish an ssh connection then showing how to reset the iDrac back to factory defaults or settings?

My problem is, after motherboard replacement I don't have display, so, don't have access to any config system, BIOS etc and it's not clear for me how connect this machine PowerEdge R330 to my Laptop to have access to IDRAC.

Hi, I saw the video you uploaded on the subject and I must say that it is very detailed and of high quality! Unfortunately I ran into a slight problem when I set a static address to connect to my system from another computer in another network, I can't find my server even though all the functions are installed correctly... If I use an internal ip address inside my network, then I can only access the server through a computer which is inside the home network together with the server.. Do you know why it is like that? Thank you!

Hi, I have a question. The Dell Servers t40 and T150 work with or have iDRAC ?

[mayankmike]

Is it different from BMC or idrac is kind of an add on card over BMC?

[NoFilter]

Can I use iDRAC with my Dell Precision 3660?

[kevgames]

[warronfrench]

Lovely video! Simple and to the point; however, what is the default password? I heard the default account is "root" but did not hear the password clearly.
Thanks!

How would a administrator connect to a new server remotely from another country and install an OS? What would they be using to connect?

[Elsisi.sharmoot.sahyooni]

You should explain with details for beginners, name of the software and where to download, keep a link down in the description, how to enter details using different os, short video not always best but 10 more seconds make it useless

[JESUSistheGoodNews]

You don't explain how to get to system setup.

[ashnashoma]

none of this works or is present on older Dell server(poweredge and what ever), just the stupid Idrac which is a pain in the behind, fighting witha 10 year old Dell Poweredge410
