Emergency Management Port Console 131
Redirect state—the EMP console serves as a PC ANSI terminal
window for BIOS console redirection (Figure 35). Commands
typed in this terminal window are transmitted through BIOS to the
server console, and text displayed on the server console is
displayed in the EMP console terminal window. With the EMP in
this state, you can remotely view boot messages, access BIOS
setup, and run DOS text mode applications through the EMP
console terminal window.
Figure 35: EMP Console in Redirect State
Figure 35 shows the EMP console window in redirect state with the
terminal window. The text that appears on the server monitor is also
displayed in the redirect window.
Availability of the various EMP console features is determined by two
things: the EMP access mode selected during configuration in the System
Management Submenu of the BIOS Server Menu (page 133) and whether
the server COM2 port is configured for console redirect in the BIOS.
