Dell VxRail E660, E660F, and E660N Installation and Service Manual
Initial setup and configuration
To install and deploy VxRail, you can purchase deployment services from Dell Technologies or select the VxRail self-deployment option (no installation services).
If you are using VxRail deployment services from Dell Technologies, do not rack the VxRail or connect power. Contact your Dell Technologies account team or reseller to arrange for deployment by Dell Technologies certified technicians.
Self deployment
For self-deployment, select the VxRail self-deployment option (no installation services). For self-deployment guidance and preparatory instructions, see KB 187954. You must have extensive network experience, understanding of VxRail infrastructure planning, and deployment knowledge to perform a VxRail self-deployment. Go to the VxRail Configuration Portal to perform self deployment.
Contact your sales representative for Dell Technologies Services if you are:
- Uncertain you can complete the end-to-end deployment process
- Unable to complete the deployment.
During the VxRail deployment, iDRAC creates a vxadmin or PTAdmin account. This account provides hardware information to the VxRail Manager and is required for the VxRail Manager and the cluster to function properly. Do not modify or delete the vxadmin or PTAdmin account.
CAUTION:If the
vxadmin or
PTAdmin account is modified or deleted, VxRail Manager and the cluster may not function properly.
