NOTE: You should power up the enclosure 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. 4 To set the DRAC/MC time, type: racadm setractime -d yyyymmddhhmmss.mmmmmmsoff where: - yyyy is a 4-digit year - mm is the month - dd is the day - hh is the hour (24-hour clock) - mm is the minute - ss is the second - mmmmmm is the number of microseconds -s is a "+" or "-", indicating the sign of the offset -off is the offset in minutes For example, Monday, May 25, 2004, at 1:30:15 PM would be represented as: racadm setractime -d 20040525133015.000000-300 5 If required, assign a static IP address using the following DRAC/MC CLI command: racadm setniccfg -s [ ] Obtain your network's specific address information from your network administrator. In the following example, 192.168.0.120 is the DRAC/MC default static IP address, 255.255.255.0 is the subnet mask address, and 192.168.1.1 is the gateway address. racadm setniccfg -s 192.168.0.120 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 6 Press . 7 Type racadm getniccfg and press . The current and static IP addresses are displayed. NOTE: By default, Telnet is disabled. 8 To enable Telnet access to the DRAC/MC, use the following DRAC/MC CLI command: racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialTelnetEnable 1 9 If the serial console is disabled, you can enable the console remotely through the Telnet interface. To enable the serial console at the Telnet console DRAC/MC: prompt, type the following serial CLI commands: racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialConsoleEnable 1 racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialTelnetEnable 1 18 General System Configuration
