Serial Port 1 options are COM1, COM3, BMC Serial, BMC NIC, and Off.
Serial port 1 shares two usage models. For standard usage, serial port 1 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.
NOTE: Off and COM3 are not available options when Console Redirection is set to use serial port 1.
