6 Connect a management station to the DRAC/MC serial port using a null modem cable. See "Configuring the Client System" in "Configuring the DRAC/MC." NOTICE: The DRAC/MC module and the network switch module(s) can be configured for DHCP. If you have a DHCP server on your network, the server will provide a dynamic IP address to the modules and will permit configuration by way of the network. If you configure the modules for DHCP, then step 7 and step 9 are not required unless you need to configure a static IP address. See the Dell Remote Access Controller/Modular Chassis User's Guide and the Dell PowerConnect 5316M User's Guide for instructions on how to configure those modules for DHCP. 7 Configure the DRAC/MC module with an IP address and the current time. See the Dell Remote Access Controller/Modular Chassis User's Guide for additional configuration options. 8 If required, switch the serial console to the network switch module console interface using the DRAC/MC command line interface (CLI). 9 Assign IP addresses to the network switch modules using the serial port on the DRAC/MC module. See "Configuring the PowerConnect 5316M Ethernet Switch Module." Configuring Drive Mirroring With PERC 4/im Integrated RAID NOTE: If you ordered your server module configured for RAID 1 from Dell, then RAID 1 is already enabled. Use the following procedures to configure drive mirroring (RAID 1) before installing an operating system on the server module. If an operating system is preinstalled, you may use the following instructions or use the array management software provided with the system. For detailed information on integrated mirroring, see the Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller 4/im Integrated Mirroring Guide. The following message appears during POST: Press Crtl-M to start LSI Logic Configuration Utility... 1 Press . 2 Press to display the Adapter Properties Menu for the highlighted adapter. 3 Select the Mirroring Properties Menu. 4 Press to view or modify the mirroring. NOTE: Two drives must be installed to enable integrated mirroring. The two installed SCSI drives are listed with their SCSI IDs. 5 Select the primary drive. 6 Ensure that the Mirrored Pair field is set to Primary. 7 Select the remaining drive.
