Setting Up the Server for the EMP
To use the EMP, you must configure the server's BIOS with specific settings. These settings take place in two submenus of the BIOS Server menu, the System Management Submenu and the Console Redirect Submenu. The earlier BIOS settings section shows all available options. This section focuses on those settings that must be configured to use the EMP.
System Management Submenu
All EMP related settings occur from the System Management Submenu of the Server main menu. Change only the items below; all other default settings should remain the same.
EMP Password: Anytime you attempt to initiate a connection, a prompt for the user password appears. If you never set up the EMP password, anyone can access the EMP by clicking OK through the password prompt.
In the EMP Password area of the System Management Submenu, type in a password of up to 8 alphanumeric characters. If a beep is heard, the password was not accepted and a different password must be entered.
EMP Access Modes: Choose either Disabled,
EMP Restricted Mode Access: Set Restricted Mode to either enabled or disabled as needed. If in enabled mode, this means that the EMP's server control options, Power On/Off and Reset, are unavailable. In disabled mode, these same server control options are available.
EMP Direct Connect/Modem Mode: Select Direct Connect if a null modem serial cable directly connects the server's COM 2 port to the EMP client machine. If they are connected via a modem, select Modem Mode.
