A blade server system includes multiple blade servers at a common location coupled to a concentrator. The concentrator connects the blade servers to a remote terminal. Upon command from the remote terminal, the concentrator connects a particular one of the blade servers to the remote terminal. Each blade server senses when it is newly connected to the remote terminal and upon detection of such a new connection, a complete screen refresh is sent by the newly connected blade server to the remote terminal. In this manner, contamination of the display of the remote terminal by leftover text from a prior connected blade server is advantageously avoided.
