AutoBoot Configuration

Use this option to set the amount of time the server pauses before attempting to launch the first item in the Boot Options list.

For example:

Set Auto Boot Timeout. Select an Option

Set Timeout Value

Delete/Disable Timeout

Help

Exit

Interrupting the timeout during the countdown stops the Boot Manager from loading any boot options automatically. If there is no countdown, boot options must be selected manually.

•To set the auto boot timeout value, in seconds, select Set Timeout Value and enter the desired value.

•To disable the timeout function, select Delete/Disable Timeout.

NOTE	When this option is selected, the server does not automatically boot. The server stops at the
	EFI boot menu and waits for user input.

Driver Configuration

Use this option to define the devices that display output from the system console. This list normally includes the VGA monitor and a serial port for directing output to a terminal emulation package.

NOTE	If you install a modem in your server, make sure you disable the modem serial port in both the
	Active Console Input and Active Console Output device lists.
NOTE	Some operating systems support multiple consoles, such as a simultaneous serial and VGA
	output. See your OS documentation to determine how many consoles are supported with your
	server. Multiple consoles are not supported for HP-UX or Windows (use the Smart Setup CD to
	switch between COM A and the iLO MP on Windows systems).

For example:

Select the Console Output Device(s)

Acpi(PNP0501,0)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(PcAnsi)

Acpi(PNP0501,0)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(Vt100)

*Acpi(PNP0501,0)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(Vt100+) Acpi(PNP0501,0)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(VtUtf8)
