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

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.

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.
