You need to have access to a host in the farm with X forwarding enabled. Using X compression will make the display respond quicker:

ssh -C -X <hostname>

Start the remote console tool via:

/share/doc/farms/Dell_Remote_Console_Switch_Software/Dell_Remote_Console_Switch_Software

Selection of the switches can be done via the tab Remote Console Switches, The following switches exist:

2161DS 03-53-33      the switch in the bulldozer cluster
2161DS 03-DD-F9      the switch in the server cabinet (named ruif)

On the tab Servers it is possible to connect to one of the attached hosts by double clicking the host name.

End a session by closing the containing window with the cross button in upper right corner.
