When daisy-chaining chassis together, GB is the uplink port and STK is the stacking (cable consolidation) port. Connect the GB ports to the management network or to the STK port of CMC in a chassis that is closer to the network. You must connect the STK port only to a GB port further from the chain or network.
Using the LCD panel on the front of the system, provide CMC with a static IP address or configure it for DHCP.
Connect KVM, which talks to CMC. Login with root/calvin, and then enter:
racadm setniccfg -s 192.168.1.254 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
You can then access the web browser and login with root/calvin: https://192.168.1.254 (or https://127.0.0.1:2000/cgi-bin/webcgi/login if tunneled).
Set the root password for chassis management controller. Chassis Overview [left menu] > User Authentication [top tab] > Local Users [sub menu] > Click on "1" [button on "root" row].
- Check "Change password"
- Enter Password (twice)
Then go to Server Overview [left menu] > Setup [top tab] > iDrac [sub menu] > Quick Deploy Settings [below top menu].

Click Save QuickDeploy Settings.
Below, click Auto-Populate Using QuickDeploy Settings
At bottom, click Apply iDRAC Network Settings
to apply them to existing blades.
Select Chassis Overview > Power > Control. This will power on the chassis when you click Apply. This powers on the MXL as well.
You must enable 110v operation, or the blades won't boot.
You can do this from the web interface:
Chassis Overview > Power > Configuration > Allow 110 VAC Operation > apply

yum install openssl098e.x86_64

Connect to the DRAC of an m620:
$ ssh root@a14c

RAC reset operation initiated successfully. It may take a few
minutes for the RAC to come online again.
racadm>>exit

Watch for the DRAC to come back up:
$ ping a14cMake sure server is booted:

You can autocomplete many commands. Not all values, though.
RACADM Command Line Reference Guide iDRAC7 (p278):
set iDRAC.IPMILan.Enable 1
Optionally:
set iDRAC.IPMILan.AlertEnable 1
These command are committed immediately. The next ones require a "job queue".
RACADM Command Line Reference Guide iDRAC7 (p376):
set BIOS.SerialCommSettings.ConTermType Vt100Vt220
set BIOS.SerialCommSettings.RedirAfterBoot Enabled
set BIOS.SerialCommSettings.SerialPortAddress Com1
set BIOS.SerialCommSettings.SerialComm OnConRedir
set BIOS.SerialCommSettings.FailSafeBaud 115200
