Power on a workstation

After you log in to the Suite Dashboard, click on a workstation on the left-side of the dashboard. The details of that workstation will appear on the right-side panel. If the workstation is powered off, the button at the bottom of the quick-view panel will display "Power On Workstation."

To start the workstation, simply click the "Power On Workstation" button. This will turn on the workstation.

Connect to a workstation

Once a workstation has powered on, you may connect to it by clicking the "Connect" button near the top of the screen.

(If you do not have DCV Viewer installed, you will be prompted to install DCV Viewer)

You've now powered on and connected to a workstation!
