Hello I would disconnect the control panel to see if the iDRAC performance changes. If the iDRAC performance changes then the issue is likely with the control panel or a cable. Make sure all power is disconnected from the system when disconnecting the control panel and avoid ESD damage to any components. The two cables you will want to disconnect is the control panel ribbon cable and the USB cable. You can leave the SD module cable connected. You will need to use the iDRAC to power the system on while the control panel is disconnected. If the iDRAC performance changes with the control panel disconnected then reseat all cables to make sure they are properly seated. If the issue returns then you can test with the USB or SD module disconnected and only the control panel connected. You can mix and match connections to try to narrow down what is causing the issue. Thanks
I have an iDRAC 6 card in my Dell PowerEdge R710. While I can access the web-based interface, it seems rather slow (though this isn't really my top concern). My major concern is that shortly before or after the BIOS finally turns control over to the OS the front LCD display freezes and no longer can be interacted with through the 3 buttons on the front of the server until the system is completely powered down. Then, when powering on again the same issue occurs at right around the same time. I did update all my firmware, I tried soft resetting and hard resetting iDRAC, and also attempted the solution here: [URL] . All to no avail. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
