If the system chassis is powered off, power on the chassis using the following DRAC/MC CLI
command:
racadm chassisaction -m chassis powerup
NOTE: The Ethernet switch module inserted into the chassis I/O bay is powered on automatically
when the system chassis is powered on. For more information on configuring the system chassis
using the DRAC/MC CLI interface, see the Dell Remote Access Controller/Modular Chassis User's
Guide.
NOTE: Dell recommends that you power up the chassis prior to inserting server modules if
Ethernet switch modules are installed. The Ethernet switch may take longer to boot than the server
modules, which may cause functions like PXE to fail due to the Ethernet switch not being fully
booted and ready to send packets.
