Introduction
It is important to configure iDRAC alerts and email settings to be notified whenever someting happens with the server's hardware that need immediate attention.
Solution
Login
Login to iDRAC. See for default credentials.
Network settings
In the server pane to the left, expand Overview > iDRAC Settings > Network
On the Network tab, make sure the DNS iDRAC Name and Static DNS Domain Name are configured properly. This is expecially important if the SMTP server only accepts email from specific "Mail From" addresses. It is not possible to configure this address yourself. The "Mail Form" address will be "DNSiDRACName@StaticDNSDomainName".
Alert settings
In the server pane to the left, expand Overview > Server > Alerts
On the Alerts tab, under Alerts enable Alerts..
Under Alerts Filter configure the Category and Severity alerts you which to receive.
On the SNMP and Email Settings tab, under Destination Email Addresses, configure the destination email recipient(s) addres(es).
Under SMTP (Email) Server Address Settings, configure all applicable attributes.
