Overview

This is the procedure to configured Dell LifeCycle Controller upon the first access. The LifeCycle controller can be accessed at boot by pressing F10 during the boot sequence.

Initial Setup Procedure

Step 1

Set Language and Keyboard Type.

Step 3

Assign one of the network cards present on the system to LifeCycle controller, and give it an IP address.

Choose the last network interface (em4), assign 192.168.1.11.

Step 4

The network interface to use for iDRAC can be selected in Advanced Settings page -> Network.

By default is LOM1.

If you intend to change it to LOM4, perform this change first before assigning the IP address, changing the network card after assigning the IP address will discard IP address settings.

Then set up iDRAC network configuration and credentials. Assign the next IP address after the one assigned to the LifeCycle controller.

Step 5

Summary, iDRAC and LifeCycle Controller should have successive IP addresses.
