Tech genies help!

I have a dell poweredge 2950 server, and it had a drac 5 controller installed. I've never used something like that before and i'm having some trouble. In the setup there are a couple of options. I've seen some tutorials but they don't explain much for someone who has not used remote access controllers before. A picture of the configuration menu is attached. These are the two places where the tutorials did setup. Does someone know how to set this up?

I don't know a lot about this stuff but my guess would be that you have to enable IPMI over LAN and then access the IP-Adress that you configured in the first image from a different computer

 

EDIT: You obviously have to plug a LAN-Cable into the IPMI-Port, which is probably a dedicated port (says in the second image at NIC Selection)
