It will not interrupt. Simply point to the iDRAC IP to manager it. That's all.

Hello - <br><br>I have some PowerEdge Servers that do not have IDRAC setup. Or at least I do not see any cables connected to port located at back of server. If I connect, will that interrupt the server since it is in production? What are the steps to ensure the IDRAC is setup and isn't interrupting production? How can I find out if it even has a card on some servers I noticed it isn't labeled IDRAC.<br><br>Thank you!

Remote access may refer to the connection to a data-processing system from a remote location, for example through a virtual private network remote desktop software, terminal emulation, or the activation of features of a business telephone system from outside the business's premises.

Remote Access

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.
