Set AutoBoot TimeOut

Use this option to set the amount of time the system pauses before it launches the first item in
the Boot Options list.
For example:

Set Auto Boot Timeout. Select an Option
Set Timeout Value
Delete/Disable Timeout
Help
Exit

Interrupting the timeout during the countdown stops the Boot Manager from loading any boot
options automatically. If there is no countdown set, you must select boot options manually.

To set the auto boot timeout value, in seconds, select Set Timeout Value and enter the
desired value.

To disable the timeout function, select Delete/Disable Timeout.

NOTE:

When this option is selected, the server does not automatically boot. The server stops

at the EFI boot menu and waits for user input.

Select Active Console Output Devices

Use this option to define the devices that display output from the system console. This list includes
the VGA monitor and a serial port for directing output to a terminal emulation package.

NOTE:

If you install a modem in your server, make sure you disable the modem serial port in

both the Active Console Input and Active Console Output device lists.

NOTE:

Some operating systems support multiple consoles, such as a simultaneous serial and

VGA output. See your operating system documentation to determine how many consoles are
supported with your server. Multiple consoles are not supported for HP-UX or Windows (use
the Smart Setup CD to switch between COM A and iLO on Windows servers).

For example:

Select the Console Output Device(s)
Acpi(PNP0501,0)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(PcAnsi)
Acpi(PNP0501,0)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(Vt100)
* Acpi(PNP0501,0)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(Vt100+)
Acpi(PNP0501,0)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(VtUtf8)
Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(1|1)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(PcAnsi)
Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(1|1)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(Vt100)
* Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(1|1)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(Vt100+)
Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(1|1)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(VtUtf8)
* Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(2|0)

* Indicates a currently selected device.
This menu is identical to Console Error Devices. HP Integrity servers do not support different
configurations for Output and Error console. For correct operation:

When changes are made to either Output or Error console menus, the identical change must
be made in both menus.

When changing serial devices, changes must be made to Output, Input, and Error menus
for proper operation.
