IDRAC Initialization Error

The document discusses troubleshooting an iDRAC Initialization error on a PowerEdge T320 server. It provides several suggestions to try including draining flea power by disconnecting AC power for 15 seconds, resetting the iDRAC by disconnecting and reconnecting AC power after 5 seconds, and ensuring all firmware including iDRAC, BIOS, and Lifecycle Controller are up to date. If those don't work, resetting the system BIOS to default settings by clearing NVRAM may help resolve the issue.

RE: PowerEdge T320. iDRAC Initialization error.

Hello.

This error may be cleared by draining the system flea power. Disconnect the AC power cables,
press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds wait a little before rebooting the server. If
this does not help, consider restore the system BIOS to default by clearing the system NVRAM
using jumpers on the system board. Ensure that the iDRAC, BIOS and LifeCycle firmware is up
to date.

Re: PowerEdge T320. iDRAC Initialization not responding


Azamat_nn,

I would recommend that you restart and reset the iDrac. You will need to turn off the system,
remove AC cables, then wait for 5 seconds to connect AC cables back. then turn it on. If that
fails to resolve it then you can follow one of these procedures to reset the idrac. Once these are
done then wait a couple minutes after supplying power cable to allow the idrac to initialize, then
you can power the server.

Let us know how it goes.

If you like also, you can follow and send a private message with your service tag to ensure we
have all appropriate information on the system.

Based on experience your idrac is likely out of date.
