DRAC 5 Overview23 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. What’s New in DRAC 5 for this Release? For this release, the DRAC 5 firmware version 1.40: Enables support for Microsoft Active Directory® authentication using the Smart Card Provides support for logging into the DRAC 5 using Single Sign-On Provides sensors for monitoring power consumption. The DRAC 5 uses this data to depict system power consumption through charts and statistics. Provides the video playback feature to help administrators view the POST and operating system boot logs of the managed systems Improved support for SM–CLP
24DRAC 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.

DRAC 5 Overview25 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 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 a DRAC 5. Table 1-2.

DRAC 5 Overview27 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.
28DRAC 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.
