Table 3-3 KVM Session Settings (continued)
Setting Name Definition
Override display resolution The RSC attempts to match the resolution of the host
monitor. However, in some cases, a resolution change
might not be correctly detected by RSC. When this
happens, a mouse offset can be introduced. You can use
this setting to manually override the resolution detected
by RSC and correct the mouse offset issue.
NOTE: To avoid resolution detection issues, when available, HP recommends using Nvidia Control
panel to change the resolution of the RSC virtual display on Windows.
Start a KVM session
Follow this procedure to start a KVM session.
1. On the left side of the dashboard, select Host.
2. In the Controls section, select Start Session (KVM).
The KVM session appears in a new window and remains active as long as the remote host is turned on.
See Using the KVM menu on page 16 for a complete list of the KVM menu options.
Using KVM
Follow these recommendations when you are working in a KVM session.
Using the keyboard
See the following recommendations for using the keyboard during a KVM session.
● Use the same keyboard layout on your local and remote host. If there are keyboard layout
mismatches, some key presses might be incorrectly sent to the remote host.
● To ensure that key press combinations are correctly sent to the remote host, HP recommends that
you use a Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser in fullscreen mode. If you are not in fullscreen mode,
some key press combinations might not be sent correctly.
Viewing the video
See the following recommendations for viewing the video during a KVM session.
● The video on the remote host behaves like a physical monitor. The DisplayPort video stream is sent
to the KVM browser window. The maximum resolution is 4096 × 2180.
● Because BIOS and pre-boot are displayed only in the primary physical monitor, you must ensure that
the controller cable is connected to the primary display port on the remote host for the best quality
video.
● If both the local monitor and the Remote System Controller require video streams, HP recommends
that you use a DisplayPort splitter adapter that duplicates the DisplayPort stream from the primary
display port to both the local monitor and the Remote System Controller mDP input.
