This article explains how to configure the IP address of the iDRAC (Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller) via the LCD Panel.
Note: In order to complete this procedure, the server must be equipped with an LCD panel. If the server does not have an LCD panel, please consult this article for alternate methods to configure the iDRAC IP address.
Please follow the instructions below to configure the IP address of the iDRAC through the LCD panel:
On the server's LCD Panel, use directional buttons for navigation and the center button, ✔, to select the option or to enter a value. Figure 1: PowerEdge R520 LCD panel showing Setup
To configure a static IP address: a) On the server's LCD panel, navigate to "iDRAC" and select "Static IP". Figure 2: PowerEdge R520 LCD panel showing iDRAC option

b) Provide an IP address, Subnet and Gateway. Figure 4: PowerEdge R520 LCD panel showing IP address modification
c) Select "No" for Setup DNS. d) Select "Yes" to save the settings.
After setting a valid IP address on your network, use your browser (e.g. Chrome, IE, Firefox) to access iDRAC via the IP address.
Note: If performing a peer-to-peer with a laptop, set an IP address in the same range on the LAN port of the laptop with the same subnet and then use the iDRAC IP address to access it in the browser.
Default username and password for iDRAC is explained in the article "What is the default password for iDRAC?"
