Don’t worry, most of server (YES, ALL DELL SERVERS WITH IDRAC) also facing this issue. Refer to this forum conversation.

How To Solve

You need uninstall current java version and install this version: Java SE Runtime Environment 8u162 and choose Windows x64 68.27 MB size.

NOTE: You will be asked to create new account and then activate it (activation link sent into your email account) then you will be able to download the file. HAHA! Lazy? Then use my username and password instead.

And then, try again to Launch idrac console.

Don’t ever you click UPDATE on java. It will ruin the configuration all the way into console idrac.
