Console Redirection Settings
DescriptionName
Allows a serial port to be used for console redirection during
POST and BIOS booting. After the BIOS has booted and the
operating system is responsible for the server, console redirection
is irrelevant and has no effect. This can be one of the following:
• disabled—No console redirection occurs during POST.
• serial-port-a—Enables serial port A for console
redirection during POST. This option is valid for blade
servers and rack-mount servers.
• serial-port-b—Enables serial port B for console
redirection and allows it to perform server management
tasks. This option is only valid for rack-mount servers.
• Platform Default—The BIOS uses the value for this
attribute contained in the BIOS defaults for the server type
and vendor.
If you enable this option, you also disable the display
of the Quiet Boot logo screen during POST.
Note
Console Redirection
Whether a handshake protocol is used for flow control. Request
to Send / Clear to Send (RTS/CTS) helps to reduce frame
collisions that can be introduced by a hidden terminal problem.
This can be one of the following:
• none—No flow control is used.
• rts-cts—RTS/CTS is used for flow control.
• Platform Default—The BIOS uses the value for this
attribute contained in the BIOS defaults for the server type
and vendor.
This setting must match the setting on the remote
terminal application.
