Connecting the SMC in a System with

Multiple Serial Console Lines

A system with multiple console lines is a GS80/160/320 system that has more
than one standard I/O (SIO) module. The SIO module is in a PCI box connected
to a quad building block, and on it is the SRM console firmware, which provides
a command-line interface for operator control of the system or a partition.
