Emergency Management Port
The emergency management port (EMP) refers to the use of the Serial 2 port, with either an external modem or direct serial connection, for remote management.

Important Intel SR1300 Server Chassis considerations: If you have configured the Serial 2 port for use as an Emergency Management Port and “always available”, the Serial 2 port will be accessible only by remote server management software. The operating system will never be able to access the port.
If you have configured the Serial 2 port for Serial Over LAN, the port’s functionality will only be impacted when there is an active Serial Over LAN session from a remote console. At all other times either the operating system or EMP will control the port, depending on your configuration.
