I'm not sure if I completely understood your situation/question or not ... if you already have console access and simply need to set up the DRAC so you can access the console through it instead, then: From a command prompt, type in the following:racadm racresetcfg Wait a few minutes for the reset to finish, then type in the following to set the network information:racadm setniccfg -s ipaddress networkmask gateway You will have to have OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) installed for the racadm commands to work. However, if you do not have any console access at all, it will be nearly impossible to set this up.  In order for you to be able to set this up "blindly", the DRAC would have to already be set up to get a DHCP address (nearly all DRAC's do/should have a static IP), AND you would need to be able to find the IP address assigned to it (most DHCP routers can see connected devices and show them to you). What is it exactly that you are trying to do?
I bought two 1950's and was hoping to only use the DRAC for console access -- I don't have a console monitor, keyboard, or mouse. Neither system is using DHCP for obtaining its IP address. One of the systems shows up on my router with 10.14.50.205, the other doesn't show up at all.  Although I can't ping it. I'm new at this, but i do have an HP and it is taking the DHCP from my router and allowing me http access through the lights out. Anyway, I tried to pulling the cards out and nothing changes.  I don't see any jumpers or switches on the card. Question: Is there a way to do a hard reset to factory defaults on this DRAC....I believe it is a 5.
