It is recommended that you configure your monitor display resolution to 1280x1024 pixels or higher.

NOTE: If you have an active Virtual Console session and a lower resolution monitor is connected to

the Virtual Console, the server console resolution may reset if the server is selected on the local

console. If the system is running a Linux operating system, an X11 console may not be viewable on

the local monitor. Press <Ctrl><Alt><F1> at the iDRAC Virtual Console to switch Linux to a text

console.

Configuring web browsers to use virtual console

To use Virtual Console on your management station:

1. Make sure that a supported version of the browser (Internet Explorer (Windows), or Mozilla Firefox

(Windows or Linux), Google Chrome, Safari) is installed.

For more information about the supported browser versions, see the Release Notes available at

dell.com/idracmanuals.

2. To use Internet Explorer, set IE to Run As Administrator.

3. Configure the Web browser to use ActiveX, Java, or HTML5 plug-in.

ActiveX viewer is supported only with Internet Explorer. HTML5 or a Java viewer is supported on any

browser.

4. Import the root certificates on the managed system to avoid the pop-ups that prompt you to verify

the certificates.

5. Install the compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61 related package.

NOTE: On Windows, the "compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61" related package may be included in

the .NET framework package or the operating system package.

6. If you are using MAC operating system, select the Enable access for assistive devices option in the

Universal Access window.
