OS (BIOS) Console

When you select the OS (BIOS) Console on the iSP Main Menu, input/output is
redirected to the OS (BIOS) serial controller.

To return to the Main Menu, press

^B

(CTRL+B).

The image displayed and the operation during redirection depend on the BIOS and OS
running in the partition; they are therefore not recognized by the service processor
firmware (iSPFW).
