NOTE: Every time the system boots, the BIOS syncs the serial MUX

 

setting saved in iDRAC. The serial MUX setting can independently be

 

changed in iDRAC. Therefore, loading the BIOS default settings from

 

within the BIOS setup utility may not always revert this setting to the

 

default setting of Serial Device 1.

Failsafe Baud Rate

Displays the failsafe baud rate for console redirection. The BIOS attempts

 

to determine the baud rate automatically. This failsafe baud rate is used

 

only if the attempt fails, and the value must not be changed. By default,

 

the Failsafe Baud Rate option is set to 115200.

Remote Terminal Type

Sets the remote console terminal type. By default, the Remote Terminal

 

Type option is set to VT 100/VT 220.

Redirection After Boot

Enables or disables the BIOS console redirection when the operating

 

system is loaded. By default, the Redirection After Boot option is set to

 

Enabled.
