Overview

This is the procedure to configure iDRAC and Dell LifeCycle Controller upon the first access, and then configure it in case further configuration changes are needed. The LifeCycle controller can be accessed at boot by pressing F10 during the boot sequence.

I noticed that the LifeCycle controller network settings did not take - or did partially take - after an initial setup, so it is a good idea to check the Settings after reboot.
