(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,

Serial Device2=COM2

console redirection by SOL, configure the same port

default)

address for console redirection and the serial device.

 

External Serial

Specifies whether Serial Device 1, Serial Device 2, or

Connector

Remote Access Device has access to the external serial

(Serial Device1 default)

connector.

automatically. This failsafe baud rate is used only if the

 

attempt fails. This rate should not be adjusted.
