Virtual Media Dialog Box
The Virtual Media dialog box allows you to connect a diskette device, a USB device, or a CD/DVD
device to a target server. When you have connected a device, you will be able to see it from the
remote console through the video viewer. You may then operate the device normally through the
video viewer session. (See "Using the Video Viewer"). The device will behave as if it is physically
attached to that server.

The Floppy Drive panel allows you to select a floppy or USB device from a list of all client floppy

to the location of your chosen floppy image file. If you do not want to select either of these options
you can select the None option.
NOTE:
Only one generic mass storage device can be selected at any one time. The selected device is
not connected until you click Connect.
