11-5 Sending Ctrl+Alt+Delete to the blade workstation

Microsoft Windows requires that you enter Ctrl+Alt+Delete to log in, to access the Windows Task Manager, or to

11-6 Accessing blade workstation desktop windows

If your client computer is configured with four monitors (see Section 3-1,
you can have as many as four active desktop windows from four blade workstations displayed simultaneously at
full resolution on your client computer. Assuming your client computer has been properly configured, the mouse

the desktop of a particular blade workstation, move the mouse pointer to that desktop area.
If the aggregate display area of your blade workstations exceeds the display area provided by the monitors on
your desk (such that one blade display covers another), you can use the RGS Virtual KVM to bring forward the
desktop window from the desired blade as follows:
1. Enter Setup Mode as described in Section 11-3,
2. Press the Tab key. A window appears on the desktop showing a thumbnail view of each desktop.
3. Use the Tab key to highlight the desired desktop, and release the Setup Mode key.
4. Alternatively, you can put the system in Setup Mode, and then press a number key corresponding to the
desired blade.
