Serial ports

The server has two standard serial ports: Serial port A and Serial port B. The operating system can use and share both serial ports; however, the integrated Advanced System Management processor can use and share only Serial port A.

Some application programs require specific ports, and some modems function properly only at certain communication port addresses. You might need to use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to change communication port address assignments to prevent or resolve address conflicts.
