Security Options for the iDRAC6 Administrator
Disabling the iDRAC6 Local Configuration
Administrators can disable local configuration through the iDRAC6 graphical
user interface (GUI) by selecting Remote Access Network/Security Services.
When the Disable the iDRAC Local Configuration using option ROM check
box is selected, the iDRAC6 Configuration Utility—accessed by pressing
<Ctrl+E> during system boot—operates in read-only mode, preventing local
users from configuring the device. When the administrator selects the Disable
the iDRAC Local Configuration using RACADM check box, local users cannot
configure the iDRAC6 through the RACADM utility, or the Dell OpenManage
Server Administrator, although they can still read the configuration settings.
Administrators can enable one or both of these options at the same time.
In addition to enabling them through the Web-based interface,
administrators can do so using local RACADM commands.
Disabling Local Configuration During System Reboot

NOTE: This option is supported only on the iDRAC6 Configuration Utility. To upgrade
to this version, upgrade your BIOS using the BIOS update package from the Dell
Support website at support.dell.com.
Disabling Local Configuration From Local RACADM
This feature disables the ability of the managed system’s user to configure the
iDRAC6 using the local RACADM or the Dell OpenManage Server
Administrator utilities.
