Dell server won't wake up my monitor when plugged into the front
I have a nice new Dell R720 in the rack. When I plug the monitor into the front, the server is not waking up the monitor. The monitor is reporting no signal.
The monitor tests good on a PC.
I do not want to reboot the server as it hosts several VMs.
Is there a way to wake the monitor w/out rebooting the server?
Thanks
Cliff

Can you log into it remotely and check the display settings? The monitor may not be able to support the server's display settings. There are amy possibilities here.
Try the rear connection also to eliminate a bad front port.

It may be possible to disable the front port (or both altogether) ... have you tried the video port on the rear of the machine?
If you can't rdp, ping or login and vet video from any port, then a cold shutdown and reboot are the only options.
I've seen this before on an older 2003 server. We contacted Dell and ran diags, butnothing was conslusive.
Your serevr should not be going to sleep. I would check all power and display settings after you get it up again. Check the logs and look for something logged that you can trace back.
