Memory Capacity

Balanced memory allows you to reach the full potential of your memory bandwidth.

Best practice: Use 6 or 12 DIMMs per Intel CPU for a balanced configuration.

Best performance: Use identical DIMMs (same capacity, rank, and DIMM type)

Most cost effective: Use the same memory configurations for every CPU in the server.

Password

Factory Generated Password for iDRAC9 (new for 14G iDRAC9) – By default, all PowerEdge servers will ship with a factory generated iDRAC password, to provide additional security. This password is generated at the factory and is located on the pull-out Information Tag located on the front of the chassis, adjacent to the server asset tag. Legacy Password - Customers who prefer the known, legacy password “calvin” should choose this option. For security purposes, Dell EMC strongly recommends changing any initial password as part of server deployment.

iDRAC Service Module is a lightweight service that supplements iDRAC monitoring and configuration with information available from the server’s operating system (OS). You can also access a limited version of the iSM interface from the OS. By having iSM pre-installed, you will be able to quickly access critical logs and support information should you need to contact Dell Support.
