DRAC 5 Overview25 1 DRAC 5 Overview The Dell Remote Access Controller 5 (DRAC 5) is a systems management hardware and software solution designed to provide remote management capabilities, crashed system recovery, and power control functions for Dell systems. By communicating with the system’s baseboard management controller (BMC), the DRAC 5 (when installed) can be configured to send you e-mail alerts for warnings or errors related to voltages, temperatures, intrusion, and fan speeds. The DRAC 5 also logs event data and the most recent crash screen (for systems running the Microsoft Windows operating system only) to help you diagnose the probable cause of a system crash. The DRAC 5 has its own microprocessor and memory, and is powered by the system in which it is installed. The DRAC 5 may be preinstalled on your system, or available separately in a kit. To get started with the DRAC 5, see Getting Started With the DRAC 5 on page 33.
26DRAC 5 Overview DRAC 5 Specifications and Features Figure 1-1 shows the DRAC 5 hardware. Figure 1-1. DRAC 5 Hardware Features DRAC 5 Specifications Power Specifications Table 1-1 lists the power requirements for the DRAC 5. Connectors NOTE: The DRAC 5 hardware installation instructions can be found in the Installing a Remote Access Card document or the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide included with your system. Table 1-1. DRAC 5 Power Specifications System Power 1.2 A on +3.3 V AUX (maximum) 550 mA on +3.3 V main (maximum) 0 mA on +5V main (maximum) RJ-45 Connector50-pin management cable connector 44-pin MII cable connector PCIe Connector
DRAC 5 Overview27 The DRAC 5 includes one onboard 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 NIC, a 50-pin management cable, and a 44-pin MII cable. See Figure 1-1 for the DRAC 5 cable connectors. The 50-pin management cable is the main interface to the DRAC that provides connectivity to USB, serial, video, and an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) bus. The 44-pin MII cable connects the DRAC NIC to the system’s motherboard. The RJ-45 connector connects the DRAC NIC to an out-of-band connection when the DRAC 5 is configured in Dedicated NIC mode. Depending on your requirements, you can use the management and MII cables to configure your DRAC in three separate modes. See DRAC Modes on page 91 for more information. DRAC 5 Ports Table 1-2 identifies the ports used by the DRAC 5 that listen for a server connection. Table 1-3 identifies the ports that the DRAC 5 uses as a client. This information is required when opening firewalls for remote access to aDRAC 5. Table 1-2.

Supported Remote Access Connections Connection Features DRAC 5 NIC • 10/100 Mbps Ethernet •DHCP support • SNMP traps and e-mail event notification • Dedicated network interface for the DRAC 5 Web-based interface • Support for telnet/ssh console and RACADM CLI commands including system boot, reset, power-on, and shutdown commands Serial port• Support for Serial console and RACADM CLI commands including system boot, reset, power-on, and shutdown commands • Support for text-only console redirection to a VT-100 terminal or terminal emulator
DRAC 5 Overview29 DRAC 5 Standard Features The DRAC 5 provides the following features: • Two-factor authentication, which is provided by the Smart Card logon. The two-factor authentication is based on what the users have (the Smart Card) and what they know (the PIN). • User authentication through Microsoft Active Directory (optional) or hardware-stored user IDs and passwords. • Role-based authority, which enables an administrator to configure specific privileges for each user. • User ID and password configuration through the Web-based interface or RACADM CLI. • Dynamic Domain Name System (DNS) registration. • Remote system management and monitoring using a Web-based interface, serial connection, remote RACADM, or telnet connection. • Support for Active Directory authentication — Centralizes all DRAC 5 user ID and passwords in Active Directory using Standard Schema and Extended Schema. • Console Redirection — Provides remote system keyboard, video, and mouse functions. • Virtual Media — Enables a managed system to access a media drive on the management station. • Access to system event logs — Provides access to the system event log (SEL), DRAC 5 log, and last crash screen of the crashed or unresponsive system that is independent of the operating system state. • Dell OpenManage software integration — Enables you to launch the DRAC5 Web-based interface from Dell OpenManage Server Administrator or IT Assistant. • RAC alert — Alerts you to potential managed node issues through e-mail messages or an SNMP trap using the Dedicated, Shared with Failover, or Shared NIC settings. • Local and remote configuration — Provides local and remote configuration using the RACADM command-line utility. • Remote power management — Provides remote power management functions from a management console, such as shutdown and reset.
30DRAC 5 Overview •IPMI support. • Standards-based management with IPMI over LAN and SM-CLP. • Sensors for monitoring power consumption. The DRAC 5 uses this data to depict system power consumption through charts and statistics. • Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption — Provides secure remote system management through the Web-based interface. • Password-level security management — Prevents unauthorized access to a remote system. • Role-based authority — Provides assignable permissions for different systems management tasks. Other Documents You May Need In addition to this User’s Guide, the following documents provide additional information about the setup and operation of the DRAC 5 in your system: • DRAC 5 online help provides information about using the Web-based interface. •The Dell OpenManage IT Assistant User’s Guide provide information about IT Assistant. •The Dell OpenManage Server Administrator’s User’s Guide provides information about installing and using Server Administrator. •The Dell OpenManage Server Administrator SNMP Reference Guide documents the Server Administrator SNMP management information base (MIB). The MIB defines variables that extend the standard MIB to cover the capabilities of systems management agents. •The Dell OpenManage Baseboard Management Controller Utilities User’s Guide provides information about configuring the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), configuring your managed system using the BMC Management Utility, and additional BMC information. •The Dell Update Packages Users Guide provides information about obtaining and using Dell Update Packages as part of your system update strategy.
