How to connect to a monitor and keyboard to your server?

There are two different types of servers that can be used when troubleshooting a SACS server 

(Dell or HP). 

HP 

When trying to connect a monitor to a HP server you will connect the VGA cable into the blue port on the back of the server. In addition, you will connect the USB cable from the USB keyboard into an available USB port on the back of the server. Images are shown below.

If you are connecting a monitor to a Dell server you will connect the DisplayPort cable into the DisplayPort connection slot on the back of the Dell server. You will also connect your USB cable from the USB keyboard into a available USB port on the back of the server. Please see the Dell Server images below.

Restarting the PoE Injector

After your PoE injector has restarted, all the indicators lights on the top of the device should be solid green. If the lights are not solid green, there is likely an issue with the cabling for the cameras. Please see the information and image below which uses the proper server cable layout.
