Note: If the Container you are managing resides on a Hardware Node running Windows 2003 Server, please turn to the Using Remote Desktop Connection to Access Container section to learn to manage a Container by means of the Remote Desktop Protocol.
The SSH Connection window is opened upon clicking on the Terminal Login icon on the Parallels Power Panel menu. You are presented with the Login and Password fields where you should enter the relevant information (root
