Since everyone can choose which RAID to configure on their server, we will consider both options.
To connect to your server in DCI Manager, use the login data that was sent to your email, or click Go, after selecting the dedicated server service in your personal account.
Next, select the required server in the DCI panel, if you have more than one, and click Go.
To connect via IPMI, use the data that you have entered. To do this, place the cursor in the Local User Name field and click the Login button. After, place the cursor in the Password field and click Password. After filling in the fields, click Log in.
Now you need to use Java Web Start to connect directly to the server.
