Microsoft Windows EMS management
Windows Server® 2003 provides text-based console access. You can connect a notebook to LO100 to
perform basic management tasks on the target system. The Windows® EMS Console, if enabled, displays
the processes that are running and enables administrators to halt processes when video, device drivers, or
other operating system features have prevented normal operation and normal corrective actions.
To enable Windows® EMS management on the target system:
1. Press the F10 key during POST to enter the BIOS Setup Utility.
2. Navigate to the Advanced>Console Redirection menu.
3. Choose one of these options based on your server model:
o On ML110 G6 and DL120 G6 servers:
i. Press the down arrow (↓) key to scroll down to the Console Redirection option, and then press
the Enter key.
