Question : Can't access Dell iDRAC6 Express

Here's what I've done so far on my new Dell T710 (in addition to configuring RAID and installing SBS 2008 R2 x64):

1. Ctrl+E on boot. Under 'Lan Parameters' it picked up DHCP, so I know it's using NIC #1. I set it to static and gave it 192.168.1.123. I left it on 'Shared' configuration.

2. Saved changes, booted into OS.

3. Installed DRAC Tools from the Dell DVD.

4. From IE, tried to access https://192.168.1.123 from two different computers on the LAN. IE goes nowhere. Can't ping it, either (but maybe that's normal).

I've changed the DRAC IP a few times, but I can never access the web interface.

I've read through the docs but I MUST be missing something.

Do I have to flip a switch in the hardware? Connect some cable? Change some setting in the DRAC management? Any clues?

Many thanks!

Answer : Can't access Dell iDRAC6 Express

Called Dell. RACADM doesn't work with iDRAC6. I was able to access the web interface from Google Chrome from a different server.
