Hi,
When you’re using the iDRAC virtual console, it usually defaults to an English (US) keyboard layout. To fix this, you can set your browser’s language to English and then manually adjust the server’s keyboard layout to match your own keyboard. If some characters still aren’t working, you can use the virtual keyboard feature in the iDRAC console to type them in.
Hope that helps!

Does the same issue occur if you set the language to English?

I have the same problem, with IDRAC9 on a new R440 server.
I access it from a Mac with a Swiss-German keyboard, from Firefox browser.
The keyboard in the virtual console (html5 mode) assume however an ascii English keyboard mapping.
This is inconvenient, if I have to do remote work through the iDRAC console.
Can it be switched from English keyboard map to Swiss-German?

Hi, the Virtual Console uses web languages like HTML, JavaScript, and CSS to create the user interface and communicate with the server. Dell uses these web languages to set up the keyboard in the Virtual Console because it’s a reliable, flexible, secure, and scalable way to manage servers and devices remotely.
