11-13 Disconnecting the client from the blade workstations

To disconnect a client from all blades, open the RGS Control Panel as described in Section 11-3 (Setup Mode +
M), and click the Disconnect button. To disconnect a client from an individual blade, open the Remote Display
Window Toolbar (Setup Mode + H), and click the Disconnect button shown below.
When you end a client RGS session, the blade workstation enters Disconnected mode. All blade workstation
processes continue to run, and the display state is maintained. Sessions are also disconnected when you log out
of Microsoft Windows on the blade workstation.
You can reboot the blade by clicking start>Shut Down. You can also reboot by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del, and then
selecting Restart in the Task Manager (see Figure 11-3). Section 11-5 describes how to send Ctrl+Alt+Del to the
blade.

11-14 Reconnecting to disconnected sessions

If network connectivity is lost for more than a few seconds, or power to the client is interrupted, it is likely that the
RGS connection from the client to one or more blade desktop sessions will be lost. RGS keeps the Windows XP
sessions alive on the blade workstations (assuming they are still running).
Upon resumption of the network connection, open the RGS Control Panel on the client (Setup Mode + M), and
click the Connect button. All blades that were disconnected are re-connected at the state they were in when the
connection was lost. Follow the process described in Section 11-4,
log into the blade.
In case of a client power interruption, press the Power button when power is restored. Wait for the client to boot,
and then reconnect as described in Section 11-4,
