Local Port Operation Overview

The HP KVM Server Console Switch system has at least one local port (based on the specific model) on the rear panel ("Components" on page 17) that enables the user to connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the HP KVM Server Console Switch for direct access.

Use the Main dialog box ("Accessing the Main Dialog Box" on page 41) to view, configure, and control servers in the HP KVM Server Console Switch system.

Accessing the Main Dialog Box

Press the Print Scrn key. The Main dialog box is displayed.
