RBSU and BIOS Serial Console Configuration
BIOS Serial Console supports console redirection of POST error messages and configuration utilities and is disabled in the ROM by default. EMS support is enabled in the OS by default, but also requires system ROM support. This section takes you through RBSU configuration, basic OS initialization, and terminal emulation for console redirection.
NOTE: On some newer servers, the BIOS Serial Console default will be AUTO instead of disabled. During the boot process, the server will check for the presence of a VT100 compatible client running at 9600 Baud connected to the server and automatically will enable the BIOS Serial Console for that boot if one is found. This eliminates the need to run RBSU with a local keyboard and monitor attached to enable the BIOS Serial Console feature.
RBSU displays and modifies the system configuration settings of a server. The figures in this section show settings for BIOS Serial Console options on the RBSU menu. Except for the following figure, these screens are shown with ANSI emulation.
Press the Enter key while BIOS Serial Console is selected on the RBSU main menu to display the options.
