12-2-3 Viewing the Windows desktop
If Remote Console Mode is set to Admin Mode or Setup Mode, the Windows desktop is generated by the ATI
video controller and is viewable through the iLO 2 Remote Console (see Figure 12-7).
Figure 12-7
Windows desktop
During normal use, Remote Console Mode is set to User Mode, which means that the Windows desktop is
generated by the NVIDIA graphics adapter. In this case, the iLO 2 Remote Console (which is generated by the
ATI video controller) goes blank after Windows starts up.
CAUTION:
If you press
Ctrl+Alt+Del
on the keyboard of the PC that displays the iLO 2 Windows desktop, your
PC will respond,
not
the blade. This is why the iLO 2 Remote Console provides the
Ctrl+Alt+Del
button, which
sends this keystroke combination to the blade (see Figure 12-8).
