Adam's right. There is a BMC but it's not iDRAC, the system management tools are at poweredgec.dell.com. Actually, I have a much newer ldstate I need to push out there.
You can do all the basics of a standard IPMI management console + some bells & whistles using the BMC tool, which wraps standard ipmitool. Not sure how you are planning on remote install of OS, but there is no vFlash feature on these systems. There might be a basic unmanaged uSD card on the pcie riser, but you'd have to plan ahead and put install media there. You could PXE install and use vKVM to watch/manage. Good luck, and I hope it works out for you. They're great machines.

Hi Mike, It has been a while since I had those machines but if I remember correctly those had not been intergrated into the traditional Dell IDRACfirmware yet. But they do have an IPMI2.0 interface and did have a remote video viewer built into the IPMI interface as well. The IPMI interface should be the the firmware already as I don't remember having the option to not have IPMI but then again never asked for that version. (The C6320 was the first to have an IDRAC interface.) https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/poweredge-c6220-2/docs https://downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_cloud_products/poweredge-c6220-2_reference%20guide_en-us.pdf (Search for vKVM) If you are using Linux then these utilities should still work on those systems potentially: http://www.poweredgec.com/ - Adam On Fri, Jan 17, 2020 at 3:10 AM Mike Ngo <m...@smartbuy.com<mailto:m...@smartbuy.com>> wrote: Hello, everyone. Our C6220 server doesn't come with any iDRAC. Could you please kindly let me know which iDRAC card would fit/work on this server? Our data center is too far away and I forgot how many card slots and type of slots are available in our servers. My research shows below, please help clarify: 1) The C6220 or C6220 II is a 12G (12 generation) server? 2) Each of our 2U units has 1x full card slot and 2x PCI-e card slots. 3) iDRAC7 Express is compatible. 4) Is iDRAC7 Express the same as iDRAC7 Enterprise card? I would like to be able to install the operating system too, not just a basic remote control access. By the way, which of the iDRAC card would work on this server?
