• Each option is identified with an EFI device path. Not all options are available, depending
on the configuration of the server and the options purchased. Device paths can differ slightly
on different product models.
• On both serial device examples, UART 9600 indicates the current baud rate of the serial
device (can be changed with the EFI Shell baud command), VenMsg Vt100+ is the current
emulation type (several different terminal emulation protocols are supported, see list above).
• Only one terminal emulation type (PcAnsi, Vt100, and so on) can be selected for each serial
console, but multiple serial consoles can be selected at a time.
Select Active Console Input Devices
Use this option to define the devices that are used to provide input to the system console. This
list normally 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 systems).

* 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. To ensure correct operation:
• When you change either Output or Error console menus, you must make the identical
changes in both menus.
• When changing serial devices, you must make changes to Output, Input, and Error menus.
