Terminal Emulation Support

HP BIOS Serial Console/EMS Support Settings and Configuration

For detailed information about iLO configurations, refer to the HP Integrated Lights-Out User Guide on the Documentation CD or to the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out).

BIOS Serial Console supports ANSI and VT100 terminal emulation. Although the screens displayed in this guide show the ANSI console for clarity, VT100 is supported by all terminal emulation programs. It should be chosen if the terminal emulation program is running in VT100 mode. BIOS Serial Console will support a CLI for RBSU and other embedded ROM utilities on select new servers for faster, more compatible display with VT100 and compatible terminals. On these newer servers, BIOS Serial Console support will default to Enabled/VT100/9600 Baud for maximum compatibility with VT100 users. ANSI emulation and the menu-based RBSU interface may not be supported when BIOS Serial Console is enabled or in use due to limited compatibility with VT100. The menu-based RBSU interface will continue to be supported automatically in modes in which BIOS Serial Console is disabled or not in use. Refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide, available on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/smartstart), for more information on CLI.
