2950 remote access howto?

[Christof Haerens]

Hi,

We just bought our first dell poweredge (2950, 2 x quad core, 4GB, 
perc5/i, dual power). Reading through the documentation it appears the 
server chassis power on/off could be controlled with the remote access.
I've configured the Baseboard Management controller / Remote access 
configuration from the bios: nic1 is set to shared, I've put a fixed 
address in the config and I configured a password for the user root (has 
admin rights).
When the server is down, I can ping the remote access, but neither 
ipmitool or racadm can make a connection...

Has anybody a quick howto in using the remote access?

Kind Regards
Christof
