Linux Operating System Redirection
Linux operating systems provide text-based console access from the serial port. The
Management Processor supports operating system redirection so that an administrator can
connect the server serial port to the existing serial infrastructure and perform basic
management tasks.
Windows EMS Management
Windows Server 2003 provides text-based console access from the serial port. An
administrator can connect a laptop to the serial port and perform basic management tasks.
The Windows Emergency Management Services (EMS) Console, if enabled, displays the
processes that are running and allows administrators to halt processes. This capability can be
important in cases where video, device drivers, or other operating system features have
prevented normal operation and normal corrective actions.
To enable the Windows EMS Console:
1. In the BIOS Setup Utility, press
→ to navigate to the Advanced menu.
2. Press
↓ to scroll to the EMS Console Configuration menu. Press the Enter key.
