Setting up your system
Complete the following steps to set up your system:
1 Unpack the sled.
2 Remove the I/O connector cover from the sled connectors.
CAUTION: Whileinstalling the sled, ensure that it is properly aligned with the slot on the enclosureto prevent damageto the
sled connectors.
3 Installthesledintheenclosure.
4 Turn on the enclosure.
NOTE: Wait for the chassis to initialize before you press the power button.
5 Turn on the sled by pressing the power button on the sled.
Alternatively, you can also turn on the sledbyusing:

The Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) isdesigned to make system administrators more productive and improve the
overall availability of Dell systems. iDRAC alerts administrators to system issues, helps them perform remote system management, and
reduces the need for physical access to the system.
Options to set up iDRAC IP address
You must configure the initial network settings based on your networkinfrastructuretoenablethecommunicationtoandfrom iDRAC. You
