I would recommend to have only iDRAC express card and check whether you able to access iDRAC by connecting network cable to LOM1 of the server and configuring iDRAC to use LOM1. You need to configure network setting on iDRAC as per LOM1 network range in this case. If you have a supported operating system installed on the server, you can install OMSA on the server and run racadm command to check whether iDRAC is working properly or not.
Hello,   I have literally tried to scavenge all possible resources videos and forums out there to find this solution. I have contacted dell as well and they seemed not to have one hence why I ask.   I have purchase a dell poweredge r610 came with idrac6 express module and idrac6 enterprise module.   I tried to configure the idrac6 in configuration settings and I have tried both dedicated and lom. Now I have it set to dedicated as far as nic (tried vlan on and off) My configuration has static: Correct assignable ip Correct mask Correct gateway Correct dns I tried dhcp too to assign the ip address nothing worked   My switch does not even show a blinking light, the idrac enterprise does not show a blinking light.   I was under the impression that the idrac6 should work at least show me the interface without a license to be able to use express.   I just want to use idrac6 express I don't really need the enterprise but nothing on the network.   I tried to purchase both new idrac6 and idrac enterprise modules and tried to see if power is drawn from the respective circuits, this is not an hardware failure that's why I am asking here.   What should I do?
IDRAC6 Not working poweredge r610
