Before the implementation of the virtualization project, the purchase of the server has its own remote control card, mainly used to implement remote server management, such as remote switch, fault scheduling, such as Remote Installation system, and so on, do not need to the server hardware side, the same can be remotely operating hardware settings. It is extremely convenient to remotely administer the Dell R410 R510 R610 R710 R810 R910 series servers.

First, the machine environment:

Model: Dell R710, Dell R810, Dell R910

Control Card Model: Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 6-enterprise Edition

Second, the remote control card configuration

Note that the remote control card has 2 versions, one version can only view information, not control, another version is the Enterprise version.

General information on the web said that the need to switch the machine to carry out remote control card configuration, in fact, is not the case, the remote control card on the R810 model is the default, there are initialized IP address, username, password, estimated each model of the Dell server initialization information is inconsistent, Can communicate with Dell technical support specifically.

(R810 model of the remote control card default IP is 192.168.0.120, user name is root, password is Calvin, through the https://192.168.0.120/index.html login, do not forget to modify the password. ）

The Dell next-generation server, R710, adds a new feature, which is the remote control feature. It can do remote switching machine, view the system State, Remote screen view operation, remote installation, etc., is really convenient. This for offsite storage server, greatly saving the operation of the cost, below I would like to say a R710 remote control settings method.
