A PowerEdge MX7000 chassis was ordered with a factory-generated password. The customer needs to reset the PowerEdge MX7000 chassis configuration using the RACADM racresetcfg command. What login…

Question

Options

• Aroot / calvin
• Badmin / password found on luggage tag
• Croot / password found on luggage tag
• Dadmin / calvin

• A

• C

• D

Explanation

When racresetcfg is run on the PowerEdge MX7000, the chassis reverts to factory defaults - and because this unit was ordered with a factory-generated password, the default credentials are root (the fixed default username) paired with the unique password printed on the physical luggage tag shipped with the chassis. Option C is correct because Dell shifted away from a universal default password to per-device factory passwords for security hardening, so the luggage tag is the authoritative source for that password post-reset.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (root/calvin): "root" is correct, but "calvin" is the legacy generic iDRAC default - it does not apply to MX7000 chassis configured with factory-generated passwords.
• B (admin/luggage tag): The luggage tag part is right, but the username is wrong - the MX7000 chassis uses root, not admin.
• D (admin/calvin): Both parts are wrong - wrong username and wrong password type.

Memory tip: Think "ROOT tag" - after a reset, you go back to the root of the physical paperwork (the luggage tag) to find your password. If you see "calvin" in an answer, that's the old Dell default, not the modern factory-generated chassis credential.
