18 HP BIOS Serial Console User Guide

When Enable Local is selected, the OS redirects through the local serial port. When Enable Remote is selected, the OS redirects through iLO or RILOE II. Data becomes available through the browser configured for iLO instead of through the serial port. Enabling remotely requires iLO 1.10 firmware or later.

NOTE: Currently, Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003, Linux, and

FreeBSD are the only OSs with console redirection support. Linux and

FreeBSD allow for generic Serial Console sessions, and Windows®

Server 2003 includes EMS.

NOTE: The Japanese character set (multi-byte character set) does not display on BIOS Serial Console screens. Do not select Japanese as the language display.

Emergency Management Services

EMS support provides input/output support for all Microsoft® Windows® kernel components: the loader, setup, recovery console, OS kernel, blue screens, and the Special Administration Console. The Special Administration Console is a text mode management console available after Windows® Server 2003 OS has initialized.
