Enabling and Configuring BIOS Console Redirection

Note – Console redirection is enabled by default in the BIOS.

If the default settings have been changed in the BIOS, the following procedure explains how to change the console-redirection settings.

1.Boot or reboot the server.

2.When prompted, press <F2> to enter BIOS setup.

3.Select the Advanced menu from the category selections along the top.

4.Select Console Redirection.

Note – Make note of all settings in this menu, as they are required for configuring the remote-console access and the Serial Over LAN (SOL) feature.

5.Select I/O Device Configuration.

6.Select On-board COM A from the Port option to enable console redirection to serial.

Ensure that COM A is enabled on I/O port 3F8, FRQ4.

■To change the baud rate, you can select the desired bit rate from the Baud Rate option.

■To disable console redirection to serial, you can select Disabled from the Port option.

7.Save the changes to the BIOS settings.

8.Press <F10> to exit the BIOS setup.

For the new settings to take effect, you must reboot the server.
