Hi vegab

We will need more details in order to help you with the drac enquiry.

For example:
1. What drac are you referring to?
2. Express or Enterprise?
3. What type of license do you have for the drac?
4. Have you configured the drac yet?

Here's a iDRAC 7 version 1.30, perhaps you can go through this manual and see how it goes:-

Hope this helps.
