This menu is identical to the Console Error Devices menu. The server does not support different configurations for Output and Error console. When you make changes to either Output or Error console menus, you must make the identical change in the other menu. When you change serial devices, you must make changes to Output, Input, and Error menus for proper operation

Each option is identified with an EFI device path. Not all options are available, depending on the configuration of the system and the options available. Device paths can differ slightly on different product models.

On both serial device examples, UART 9600 indicates the current baud rate of the serial device which can be changed with the EFI Shell baud command, VenMsg Vt100+ is the current emulation type. Several different terminal emulation protocols are supported, as described in the previous example.

Only one terminal emulation type (PcAnsi, Vt100, and so on) can be selected for each serial console, but multiple serial consoles can be selected at once.

Select Active Console Input Devices

Use this option to define the devices that are used to provide input to the system console.

This option displays the console devices on the system. This can include a standard keyboard and mouse, and a serial port for receiving output from a terminal emulation package on a laptop. Several different terminal emulation protocols are supported. When you change serial devices, you must make changes to Output, Input, and Error menus for proper operation.

NOTE: Some operating systems support multiple input devices, such as a simultaneous serial and keyboard input. See your OS documentation to determine how many consoles are supported with your system.
