Could you describe your issue? I'm not quite clear from your screenshot why you pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del.

felipe.brazzuca · January 17, 2026, 7:23am

sure,
in this case i need to restart my server to get acces to vmware.
and i was unable to.
each command that i sent to server, like: ctrl+alt+del, it doens’t work.

Wake on LAN often needs to be enabled in the BIOS and/or the base OS before it works, and some systems don't support it. Is there a BIOS setting for Wake On LAN or Wake on PCI or similar?

If it still doesn't work after disabling MSD and the microphone, it's likely that your bootloader does not recognize a composite USB device, meaning you won't be able to input any keystrokes in this situation.

But what I find strange is, why does your screenshot show no HDMI signal?

hi fellas,
Wake on LAN often needs to be enabled in the BIOS → yes i check it.Its on.
bootloader does not recognize a composite USB device → i will try to change the usb port.

one thing, kvm lan connection is connect on switch that is connect to server, in this way, kvm recognize server through IP/mac address

i have 02 lan ports on server, do you recomend to be direct on server?

No, just let it behind the switch.
