Connect monitor and keyboard
In the first part of the configuration procedure, you will use a text menu. This phase requires connecting a
keyboard and monitor to the server. After changing some network settings, further configuration can be done
through the Management network interface using a web browser to access the administrator GUI.
Use any USB port or the PS/2 port to connect a keyboard. Use the VGA port to connect a monitor. Turn on the
monitor and the server is ready to be powered on.
