(Serial Device 1 and Serial Device 2) are enabled in
BIOS. BIOS console redirection can also be enabled and
the port address used can be specified.
Options are On without Console Redirection, On with
Console Redirection via COM1, On with Console
Redirection via COM2, and Off.
Serial Port Address
(Serial Device 1=COM1,
Serial Device 2=COM2
default)
Sets the serial port addresses for the two serial devices.
NOTE: Only Serial Device 2 can be used for Serial Over
LAN (SOL). To use console redirection by SOL, configure
the same port address for console redirection and the
serial device.
External Serial Connector

Specifies whether Serial Device 1, Serial Device 2,
or Remote Access Device has access to the
external serial connector.

configure the same port address for console redirection
and the serial device.
Failsafe Baud Rate
(115200 default)
Displays the failsafe baud rate used for console
redirection. BIOS attempts to determine the baud rate
automatically. This failsafe baud rate is used only if the
attempt fails. This rate should not be adjusted.

Sets the remote console terminal type, either
VT100/VT220 or ANSI.
