BAUD Rate

Select the BAUD rate for console redirection. The options are 300, 1200, 2400, 9600, 19.2K, 38.4K, 57.6K and 115.2K.

Console Type

Choose from the available options to select the console type for console redirection. The options are VT100, VT100,8bit, PC-ANSI, 7bit, PCANSI, VT100+, VT-UTF8.

Flow Control

Choose from the available options to select the flow control for console redirection. The options are: None, XON/XOFF, and CTS/RTS.

Console Connection

Select the console connection: either Direct or Via Modem.

Continue CR after POST

Choose whether to continue with console redirection after the POST routine. The options are On and Off.

Hardware Monitor

Fan Speed Control Modes

This feature allows the user to decide how the system controls the speeds of the onboard fans. If the option is set to "3-pin", the fan speed is con- trolled based upon the CPU die temperature. When the CPU die temperature is higher, the fan speed will be higher as well. If the option is set to "4-pin", the fan speed will be controlled by the Thermal Management Settings pre- configured by the user at this feature. Select "3-pin" if your chassis came with 3-pin fan headers. Select "4-pin" if your chassis came with 4-pin fan headers. Select "Workstation" if your system is used as a Workstation. Select "Server" if your system is used as a Server. Select "Disable" to disable the fan speed control function to allow the onboard fans to run at the full speed (12V) at all time. The options are Disable, 3-pin (Server), 3-pin (Workstation), 4-pin (Server) and 4-pin (Workstation).

The recommended setting for the 6014H-8/6014H-82/6014H-X8 is "3-pin (Server)". Note that loading the default values will change this setting. If you load BIOS defaults you should reenter BIOS setup and change this setting back to "3-pin (Server)".
