Poweredge r730xd nic question

The R730xd should have a dedicated idrac port with its own mac address. It is possible to use a the integrated nic as the idrac port and it is possible to use a slotted nic as the idrac port. So if your idrac is using its own dedicated port, what you do to the other nics wont affect the idrac.

@DELL-Rey G​ I'd like to use the 540 nic instead of the dedicated or the onboard. When checking iDRAC I have 5 options. Dedicated, and LOM 1-4. That's it. 

My apologies, I did not confirm on a system before posting that, but I agree with you, only the LOM nics are shown.  I am using LOM3 for my idrac since the mac address went bad, but even then, it still shows the "bad" mac. the idrac is working fine though.

@DELL-Rey G​ so I'd have to run multiple Ethernet cables to access iDRAC as well as having the 10gbe network connectivity. 

This probably says it best:
