I just learnt that pressing that button only restarts iDRAC and does not clear any information. I guess I need a vga -> hdmi cable or old monitor.
On a R430 (newly acquired) I am trying to login to iDRAC and root / calvin which does not work. Pressing the front "i"-button will turn off display and the rev fans but has no effect on login credentials. What can I do? I am of course in dialogue with seller but the server is resold by that company and so they do not have login. I have no monitor with vga at the moment. I have checked the jumper for disallowing the change of password and have also clear bios with jumper beside it. Should anyone have an idea of what to do and also if directly attached monitor and keyboard is a possible way I would be very grateful. Thank you for your time. Best regards/Johan Rylander
