The iDRAC Configuration Utility is a pre-boot configuration environment

that allows you to view and set parameters for the iDRAC6 and for the

managed server.
The iDRAC Configuration Utility provides the following features:

• Allows control of system functions including power on and off
• Functions independently of the system’s power state or the system’s

operating system

• Provides text console redirection for system setup, text-based utilities, and

operating system consoles

In addition the iDRAC Configuration Utility enables you to:

• Configure, enable, or disable the iDRAC6 local area network through the

dedicated iDRAC6 Enterprise card port or the embedded NIC1

• Enable or disable IPMI over LAN
• Enable a LAN Platform Event Trap (PET) destination
• Attach or detach the Virtual Media devices
• Change the administrative user name and password and manage user

privileges

• View System Event Log (SEL) messages or clear messages from the log

For additional information on using iDRAC6, see the documentation for

iDRAC6 and systems management applications.
