Most straightforward way would be to plug a laptop into the iDRAC port, set an IP in the 192.168.0.x subnet, and try browsing to 192.168.0.120. This is the default IP, after a reset. The default account name will be root, password calvin.

Default iDRAC IP address is NOT 19.168.0.120; because of that i want to RESET it.<br />
<br />
I did the &quot;soft reset&quot; (Press the i icon for at least 30 seconds....etc), but it DID NOT WORK.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Hi,<br />
I have Dell PowerEdge R510 server.<br />
<br />
The Goal: To reset the iDRAC<br />
<br />
The things that I do:<br />
<br />
I find the “I” switch (It is at the front panel of the machine)&gt; I press that “I” switch around 30 sec&gt; then, &nbsp;I release it.<br />
<br />
The outcome: I saw the DISPLAY blinking &nbsp;blinking &nbsp;continuously (Not Stop).<br />
<br />
My question:<br />
<br />
1) How can I know that &nbsp;the “reset” has been successful?<br />
2) Is there any other way to reset this iDRAC? Which ones?<br />

To RESET iDRAC for Dell Server PowerEdge R510

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.
