Unable to log into host

Hi All,

We recently just purchased a Dell VRTX server. It has 2 PowerEdge M640s with a Dells CMC and idrac. Came with VMware ESXI 6.7 update 3. Both blades have 2 SSDs and a preinstalled SD card.When you first power on the chassis it has you go through the setting IP process for the CMC and 2 Idracs.  Then states it will add the next 2 in line IP addresses in the scope to the blades. When I powered on the server initially it showed both blades online and a messaged from Dell stating that my root password on both servers is my Dell service tag. Logged into both just fine. Rebooted them both and shut down via that service tag password. Upon connecting the chassis to my network my ability to log into the host was not longer there. It would no longer take my root password. When I hit f2 its showing localhost.domain.local. I know initial it just showed local host. The web interface and console will not take the root login. I shutdown entire chassis, removed from my network, and rebooted with same results. It seems like once I added plugged the server into my local network I can not longer get in.
