I've used Drac as well.
The web interface is accessible. As Andrew points out, the remote console
access isn't accessible.

Hi,
Haven't used DRAC 4, because the business wasn't buying them at that
stage. DRAC5 and DRAC6 will work with a screen reader, though the KVM
part won't since it transmits video images across the LAN. The rest of
the system shouldn't require Java however.
To reset the DRAC you need to press ctrl+e at the POST screen and choose
the option to reset from the menu.
Andrew.

Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] accessibility of dell drac
Hi.
I recently bought some Dell poweredge 2850 servers on eBay.
I am in the process of installing slackware 14 on some, and windows 2012
on another.
I have successfully updated both the bios and PERC firmware.
Now, I would like to use the drac 4/I, so I can power up/down the server.
the question is:
Is drac accessible using the web interface? I understand I need to install
some sort of java to use it.
I haven't been able to try it out since the servers came with a
non-default username/password.
I am in the process of trying to set the drac to default values with
little success so far.
Phil
