Using the Remote Console

The Remote Console tab provides access to different views of the Remote Console and enables you to
define keystroke sequences that are transmitted to the remote host server by pressing a hot key. Standard
RILOE II provides embedded hardware Remote Console capabilities on a text mode page. The operating
system-independent console supports text modes that display remote host server activities, such as
shutdown and startup operations.

The Remote Console option redirects the host server console to the network client browser, providing full
text (standard) and graphical mode video, keyboard, and mouse access to the remote host server.

With the Remote Console, you have complete control over a remote host server as if you were in front of
it. You can access the remote file system and the network drives. The Remote Console enables you to
change hardware and software settings for the remote host server, install applications and drivers,
change remote server screen resolution, and gracefully shut down the remote system.

With the Remote Console, you can observe POST boot messages as the remote host server restarts and
initiate ROM-based setup routines to configure the hardware of the remote host server. When installing
operating systems remotely, the graphical Remote Console enables you to view and control the host server
page throughout the installation process.
