Steps to access the iDRAC interface over the USB port
- Turn off any wireless networks and disconnect from any other hard wired network.
- Ensure that the USB port is enabled.
Note: On the server, you can enable or disable the iDRAC Direct USB Port using the system BIOS. Navigate to System BIOS > Integrated Devices.

- Wait for the laptop to obtain the IP address 169.254.0.4. It is always the same IP address. It may take several seconds for the IP addresses to be acquired. iDRAC acquires the IP address 169.254.0.3.
To check if the iDRAC is responding, launch the ping command.

- Now, you can start using the iDRAC network interfaces such as the web interface, RACADM, Redfish, or WSMan. For example, to access the iDRAC web interface, open a supported browser, and type the address 169.254.0.3 and press enter. The iDRAC login screen is displayed.

- When iDRAC is using the USB port, the LED blinks indicating activity. The blink frequency is 4 per second. After completing the wanted actions, disconnect the USB cable from the system. The LED turns off.
- If the Micro USB cable cannot be recognized, navigate to iDRAC Settings > Media and USB Port Settings > iDRAC Direct Only.
