BIOS Serial Console Port
This BIOS Serial Console Port feature controls if and how video and keystrokes are redirected
through the serial port prior to OS startup.
IMPORTANT: This feature may interfere with non-terminal devices attached to the serial port. In
this case, disable the BIOS Serial Console. This feature is not supported under RBSU on Japanese
systems.
Options include:
•
Auto (default for newer servers)—The server checks for the presence of a VT100 compatible
client running at 9600 Baud connected to the server and automatically enables the BIOS
Serial Console if one is found. This eliminates the need to run RBSU with a local keyboard
and monitor attached to enable the BIOS Serial Console feature.
•
Disabled (default for older servers)
•
COM 1
•
COM 2
NOTE: Connect a null modem cable to the serial port/COM port on which BIOS Serial Console
is enabled.
