Connect a HDMI cable to the monitor and the device’s HDMI interface.NOTEThe Nodegrid Bold SR uses a VGA port. If monitor only has HDMI, use a HDMI to DVI-D adapter to connect. 2. Connect a USB Keyboard and Mouse to the USB ports.NOTEThe keyboard and mouse must support Linux. Windows-only devices are not supported. This limitation generally affects devices which use a USB wireless dongle. 3. The login prompt indicates the connection is active.
