Accessing the server using a VNC connection
Use a Virtual Network Computing (VNC) connection to access your server for
performing the following tasks:
– Diagnostics and troubleshooting
– Recovering the operating system
– Resetting the server
I
You will need a USB stick with a spare capacity of at least 128 MB in
order to access the server using a VNC connection.
Ê
If the server is still running, press the On/Off button to properly shut down
the operating system and switch off the server.
I
If the server does not shut down properly, press and hold the On/Off
button for five seconds, until the server switches off.
Ê
Ensure that your server is connected to a client computer on your network
(running the Microsoft Windows operating system) through your server’s
onboard Ethernet port 1 (see
section "Connecting devices to the server" on
page 40
).
Ê
If DHCP is not available on your network on startup, your Headless server
obtains a static standard IP address (see section
"Connecting to your
server" on page 49
).
In case of static IP configurations, ensure that your client’s IP address is on
subnet 192.168.10.x (although not your server’s default address
192.168.10.10) with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
Ê
Press the On/Off button to switch on the server.
Ê
Right after switching on the server, insert the Maintenance & Recovery DVD
into the DVD drive and close the drive tray.
Your server will now boot from the Maintenance & Recovery DVD.
Ê
Wait until the DVD tray opens, indicating that the boot process is complete.
This may take up to three minutes.
Ê
Connect the USB stick to the server.
I
A VNC client and remote connection data are automatically
transfered to the USB stick. This will take about 15 seconds.
