    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.

    DRAC 5 Specifications and Features
    Figure 1-1 shows the DRAC 5 hardware.

    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

    							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.

    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.
