168 Using GUI Console Redirection
Why doesn’t the vKVM mouse and keyboard work when changing mouse
acceleration for different operating systems?
The USB vKVM keyboard and mouse are inactive from 5 to 10 seconds after
changing the mouse acceleration. The network load can sometimes cause this
operation to take longer than normal (more than 10 seconds).
Why can't I see the bottom of the server screen from the vKVM window?
Ensure that the server screen resolution is 1280 x 1024 pixels at 60 Hz with
128 colors.
Why can't I use a keyboard or mouse while installing a Microsoft
®
operating
system remotely by using DRAC5 Console Redirection?
When you remotely install a supported Microsoft operating system on a
system with Console Redirection enabled in the BIOS, you receive an EMS
Connection Message that requires you to select OK before you can continue.
You cannot use the mouse to select OK remotely. You must either select OK
on the local system or restart the remotely managed system, reinstall, and
then turn Console Redirection Off in the BIOS.
This message is generated by Microsoft to alert the user that Console
Redirection is enabled. To ensure that this message does not appear, always
turn off Console Redirection in the BIOS before installing an operating
system remotely.
Why does console redirection fail to show the operating system boot menu
in the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean versions of Microsoft Windows 2000?

systems, change the default boot operating system by performing the
following steps:
1
Right-click the My Computer icon and select Properties .
2 Click the Advanced tab.
3 Click Startup and Recovery .
4 Select the new default operating system from the Startup list.
5 In the Show list for box, type the number of seconds that the list of choices
should be displayed before the default operating system automatically
boots.
