Using GUI Console Redirection 187
3 Dell recommends that you configure your monitor display resolution to
1280x1024 pixels or higher.
NOTE: If your system is running a Linux operating system, an X11 console may not
be viewable on the local monitor. Pressing <Ctrl><Alt><F1> at the iDRAC KVM will
switch Linux to a text console.
NOTE: Occasionally, you may encounter the following Java Script Compilation
Error: "Expected: ;". To resolve this issue, adjust the network settings to use
"Direct connection" in JavaWebStart: "Edit->Preferences->General->Network
Settings" and choose "Direct Connection" instead of "Use browser settings."
