8.If you are logged in to an ASM processor: Select the Dedicate to ASM check box to reserve serial port 1 for the ASM processor. This option is displayed only when you are logged in to an ASM processor.

If shared with the operating system, the serial port serves the ASM processor only when the server is turned off or during the power-on self-test (POST). The operating system can access it after the POST is completed. The ASM processor takes over the serial port from the operating system to dial out and transmit an alert only after a critical event. The port then remains under ASM processor control until the server is restarted.
