How to Access the Console

This section describes how to connect to the system console.

The console is used to communicate with the operating system (OS) during OS installation, and for some low-level maintenance activities. It provides a simple, text-based interface that requires only a keyboard and a video display.

During an OS installation, at some point, the operating system starts displaying either console or video output on the video monitor. However, it continues to display text-based output on the console. Exactly when it displays output on the video monitor depends on what OS is being installed. See your OS documentation for more details.
