Initial system setup and conguration
Setting up your system
Perform the following steps to set up your system:
1 Unpack the system.
2 Connect the peripherals to the system.
3 Connect the system to its electrical outlet.
4 Power on the system by pressing the power button or by using iDRAC.
5 Power on the attached peripherals.
For more information about setting up your system, see the Getting Started Guide that shipped with your system.
iDRAC conguration
The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) is designed to make system administrators more productive and improve the overall
availability of Dell systems. iDRAC alerts administrators about system issues and enables them to perform remote system management.
This reduces the need for physical access to the system.
Options to set up iDRAC IP address
To enable communication between your system and iDRAC, you must rst congure the network settings based on your network
infrastructure.
NOTE: For static IP conguration, you must request for it at the time of purchase.
This option is set to DHCP by Default. You can set up the IP address by using one of the following interfaces:

NOTE: To access iDRAC, ensure that you connect the ethernet cable to the iDRAC9 dedicated network port. You can also access
iDRAC through the shared LOM mode, if you have opted for a system that has the shared LOM mode enabled.
Log in to iDRAC
You can log in to iDRAC as:
• iDRAC user

Initial system setup and conguration 15

• Microsoft Active Directory user
• Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) user
If you have opted for secure default access to iDRAC, you must use the iDRAC secure default password available on the system
Information tag. If you have not opted for secure default access to iDRAC, then use the default user name and password –root and
calvin. You can also log in by using your Single Sign-On or Smart Card.
NOTE: You must have the iDRAC credentials to log in to iDRAC.
NOTE: Ensure that you change the default user name and password after setting up the iDRAC IP address.
NOTE: The Intel Quick Assist Technology (QAT) on the Dell EMC PowerEdge T140 is supported with chipset integration and is
enabled through an optional license. The license les are enabled on the sleds through iDRAC.
For more information about drivers, documentation, and white papers on the Intel QAT, see https://01.org/intel-quickassist-technology.
For more information about logging in to the iDRAC and iDRAC licenses, see the latest Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller User's
Guide at Dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
You can also access iDRAC by using RACADM. For more information, see the RACADM Command Line Interface Reference Guide at
Dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
