This section includes descriptions of advanced features that cannot be performed from the Dell™ PowerVault™ NAS

Manager menus.

To perform the procedures in this section, you must use the Terminal Services Advanced Client. To access the Terminal

Services Advanced Client, perform the following steps:

1. Log in to the NAS Manager.

See "

Logging in to the NAS Manager

" in "NAS Manager."

2. From the NAS Manager, click Maintenance.

3. Click Terminal Services.

4. Log on as an administrator.

NOTE:

The default administrator user name is administrator and the default password is powervault.

Using Console Redirection

Console redirection allows you to view the NAS system's power-on self-test (POST) and change BIOS settings from a

client system. Console redirection redirects keyboard input and text output through the serial port. Graphic output is not

redirected. This section describes the simplest connection possible: connecting to a system with a serial cable.

Minimum Hardware and Connection Requirements

To use console redirection, you must have the following:

An available serial port (COM port) on a client system. (This port must not conflict with any other ports on the

system.)

An available serial port (COM 1) on the NAS system.

NOTE:

Console redirection is enabled by default in the NAS system BIOS.

The serial cable provided with your NAS system.

Hyperterminal installed on the client system. If Hyperterminal is not installed on the client system, you can install it

from your operating system CD.
