Notes:
1. Monitor emulation must be enabled in the compression card settings on the host
system. Monitor emulation is enabled when configuring a session, for more
information see Chapter 3, "Setting up the connection between the connection
device and the host system," on page 9. When monitor emulation is enabled,
KVM access for the host system is not available.
2. When using dual monitors, the primary video connector is the top DVI
connector. You must configure the desktop to support dual monitors through the
video driver settings in the operating system.
3. The bottom DVI connector must be used when administrator access is also
required through remote control or KVM. For remote control and KVM access,
note the supported resolutions listed in the remote control session. See the
"IBM BladeCenter Management Module User's Guide" for a list of supported
resolutions when accessing the BladeCenter unit using remote control through
the management module.
