Screen Resolution 1280x1024 Refresh Rate (Hz) 60 It is recommended that you configure your monitor display resolution to 1280x1024 pixels or higher. NOTE: If you have an active Virtual Console session and a lower resolution monitor is connected to the Virtual Console, the server console resolution may reset if the server is selected on the local console. If the system is running a Linux operating system, an X11 console may not be viewable on the local monitor. Press at the iDRAC Virtual Console to switch Linux to a text console. Configuring virtual console Before configuring the Virtual Console, make sure that the management station is configured. You can configure the virtual console using iDRAC Web interface or RACADM command line interface.
