One can manage Dell server with DRAC ( Dell Remote Access Controller ) via ssh session. iDRAC6 is little bit different than version 5. Here are the commands to access console and reboot / shutdown the server.
Connect:
$ ssh 192.168.1.19 -l root
root@192.168.1.19's password:
/admin1->
Access the console:
/admin1-> console com2
With DRAC5 one had to type:
Dell Remote Access Controller 5 (DRAC 5)
Firmware Version 1.20 (Build 07.03.02)
$ connect com2
To reboot the server type reset:
/admin1-> cd /system1
/admin1/system1
/admin1/system1-> reset
stop stands for poweroff and start for powerup.
In DRAC5 to use power functions one must first start SM CLP:
$ smclp
DRAC5 SM-CLP System Management Shell, version 1.0

I noticed that people end up this site with pattern “ssh reset drac”. If you are wondering how that is done, here it is:
ssh root@drac-ip
racadm racreset
This will reboot the DRAC if the web manage etc has crashed.
