Configuring special keys
During server console redirect and remote POST, keyboard support is limited to
ASCII characters, the arrow keys, and the F1 through F4 function keys. To transmit
certain special key combinations, you must type a prefix key combination followed
by a second key as described on the Configuring Special Keys menu. You can
define the prefix key combination that you want to use, as indicated on the
Configuring Special Keys menu. The default prefix key combination is Ctrl+].
Complete the following steps to configure prefix key combinations:
1. From the Redirect Text Console menu, select Configure Special Keys. The
Configure Special Keys window opens.
2. Follow the directions in the window to select and save the desired prefix key
combination.

Supervisor Adapter settings if you have read/write access.

locally on the remote servers in the BIOS setup menu (accessed by pressing F1 in

connection.
