Option

Description

 

 

Serial Communication

Selects whether the serial communication devices

(On without Console

(Serial Device 1 and Serial Device 2) are enabled in

Redirection default)

BIOS. BIOS console redirection can also be enabled and

 

the port address used can be specified.

 

Options are On without Console Redirection, On with

 

Console Redirection via COM1, On with Console

 

Redirection via COM2, and Off.

Serial Port Address

Sets the serial port addresses for the two serial devices.

(Serial Device 1=COM1,

NOTE: Only Serial Device 2 can be used for Serial Over

Serial Device 2=COM2

LAN (SOL). To use console redirection by SOL, configure

default)

the same port address for console redirection and the

 

 

serial device.

External Serial Connector

Specifies whether Serial Device 1, Serial Device 2,

(Serial Device1 default)

or Remote Access Device has access to the

 

external serial connector.

 

NOTE: Only Serial Device 2 can be used for Serial Over

 

LAN (SOL). To use console redirection by SOL,

 

configure the same port address for console redirection

 

and the serial device.

Failsafe Baud Rate

Displays the failsafe baud rate used for console

(115200 default)

redirection. BIOS attempts to determine the baud rate

 

automatically. This failsafe baud rate is used only if the

 

attempt fails. This rate should not be adjusted.

Remote Terminal Type

Sets the remote console terminal type, either

(VT100/VT220 default)

VT100/VT220 or ANSI.

Redirection After Boot
