Figure 37. EMP Console in Redirect State
Figure 37 shows EMP Console window in redirect mode with the terminal window. The text that
appears on the server monitor displays in the Redirect window.
Availability of the various EMP Console features are determined by two factors: the BIOS
EMP access mode and if the server’s COM2 port is configured for console redirection. The three
EMP access modes are disabled, pre-boot, and always active.
