I am guessing you are using linux. Reboot would be the best command in your case since you are logging in using telnet.
In such cases where physical access to server is not possible, reboot is the best command.
Wait for a few minures and try logging into the system, with telnet.

NAME
fence_drac - fencing agent for Dell Remote Access Card
SYNOPSIS
fence_drac [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
fence_drac is an I/O Fencing agent which can be used with the Dell Remote Access Card (DRAC). This card provides remote access to control-
ling power to a server. It logs into the DRAC through the telnet interface of the card. By default, the telnet interface is not enabled.
To enable the interface, you will need to use the racadm command in the racser-devel rpm available from Dell. To enable telnet on the
DRAC:
[root]# racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialTelnetEnable 1
[root]# racadm racreset
fence_drac accepts options on the command line as well as from stdin. Fenced sends parameters through stdin when it execs the agent.
fence_drac can be run by itself with command line options. This is useful for testing and for turning outlets on or off from scripts.

-a IPaddress
