The DRAC/MC CLI command prompt DRAC/MC: is displayed. NOTE: Dell recommends changing the default username and password names. See the Dell Remote Access Controller/Modular Chassis User's Guide for instructions. 8 If the system chassis is powered off, power on the chassis using the following DRAC/MC CLI command: racadm chassisaction -m chassis powerup NOTE: The Ethernet switch module inserted into the chassis I/O bay is powered on automatically when the system chassis is powered on. For more information on configuring the system chassis using the DRAC/MC CLI interface, see the Dell Remote Access Controller/Modular Chassis User's Guide. NOTE: Dell recommends that you power up the chassis prior to inserting server modules if Ethernet switch modules are installed. The Ethernet switch may take longer to boot than the server modules, which may cause functions like PXE to fail due to the Ethernet switch not being fully booted and ready to send packets.
