# KVM Port Connection

The Nodegrid unit can be directly configured with KVM.

1. 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.
