I have a Dell T320.  I am used to seeing an Ethernet port where it says iDrac, but that doesn't seem to be the case with mine.  I've attached an image of what it looks like.  How do I connect to the interface?

See #8. You should have two Ethernet ports. If you don't have the ports then you will need to get a NIC card.

There are two two Ethernet ports on the back of my T320; you are saying port #2 in the Image Item #8 is the iDrac port? 

I think that I am missing Item #4, which is some card that needs to be installed....

#8 is your Ethernet ports. #4 is the iDRAC port. I'm not familiar with the Dell Power Edge Servers but I don't think you need #4 to use the Ethernet Ports.

 

From that page.

 

iDRAC7 Enterprise port         
Dedicated management port.
                                                

NOTE: The port is available for use only if the iDRAC7 Enterprise license is installed on your system.
