6 HP BIOS Serial Console User Guide

BIOS Serial Console Overview

BIOS Serial Console can be enabled in RBSU. By default, BIOS Serial Console

is disabled.

EMS Support Overview

EMS support is a Microsoft® feature for the Windows® Server 2003 OS, which

is enabled by default in the OS, but which also must be enabled in the system

ROM. By default, EMS support is disabled for ML and DL servers, and is

enabled for BL servers.

Refer to "Operating System Support (on page 17

)" for more information about

using supported OSs.

Initialization

BIOS Serial Console initialization occurs during power-up or system reset,

before the first message is displayed on the screen.

Connectivity

A null modem cable should be connected to one of the serial ports on the server

for console redirection. Be sure to connect the cable to the serial port that

corresponds to the correct COM port on which BIOS Serial Console is enabled.

The default COM port is COM 1 for systems with BIOS Serial Console enabled

by default. This setup can be configured in RBSU.

Refer to "RBSU and BIOS Serial Console Configuration (on page 9

)" for COM

port settings.
