Opening a Console Redirection Session

When you open a console redirection session, the Dell Virtual KVM (vKVM)
Viewer Application (iDRACView) starts and the remote system's desktop
appears in the viewer. Using iDRACView, you can control the remote system's
mouse and keyboard functions from your local management station.
NOTE:
vKVM launch from a Windows Vista
vKVM restart messages. To avoid this, set the appropriate timeout values in the
following locations: Control Panel→ Power Options→ Power Saver→ Advanced
Settings→ Hard Disk→ Turnoff Hard Disk After <time_out> and in the Control Panel→
Power Options→ High–Performance→ Advanced Settings→ Hard Disk→ Turnoff Hard
Disk After <time_out>.
To open a console redirection session in the Web interface, perform the
following steps:
1 Click System and then click the Console/Media tab.
2 In the Console Redirection screen, use the information in Table 12-4 to
ensure that a console redirection session is available.
If you wish to reconfigure any of the property values displayed,
