Console Redirection Screen
Table 2-7 lists the options and descriptions for the information fields that
appear on the
Console Redirection
screen.
Serial Port 1
(COM1 default)
Serial Port options are COM1, COM3, BMC Serial,
BMC NIC, COM1/BMC, and Off. If an optional remote
access controller (RAC) is installed in the system, RAC is
an additional option.
Serial Port shares three usage models. For standard usage,
Serial Port attempts to use COM1 first, and then COM3.
For BMC usage, serial port 1 uses the COM1 address and
communication can be either via the serial port or the
integrated shared NIC. RAC control uses only the COM1
address.
The COM1/BMC setting allows you to toggle the system
between a COM1 setting and BMC Serial setting. In this
mode, press <ESC> to enter the BMC Serial setting and
press <ESC><q> to return to the COM1 setting.
Off and COM3 are not available options when Console
Redirection is set to use Serial Port 1.
Speaker
(On default)
Enables or disables the system internal speaker.
