To connect the Dell R-Series, follow the steps below:

  1. Install the Dell R-Series into a 19 inch rack or another safe location.

  3. Connect the monitor and keyboard to the Dell R-Series (or just a serial cable).
  4. Connect the power cable to the Dell R-Series.
  5. Turn on power to the unit.
