Type dellmgr to start the program.
Using Dell Manager in Red Hat Linux GUI Mode
On a system running Red Hat Linux, for Dell Manager to work correctly in a terminal in GUI Mode, you must set the terminal type to linux and keyboard

1.
Start the Terminal.
2.
Before you enter dellmgr to start Dell Manager, type the following commands:

list of alternate keys you can use in case of problems with keys <F1> through <F7>, and <F10>:
