Serial Port Console Redirection Serial Communication For PowerEdge x9xx and xx0x servers, serial console redirection can be accomplished using COM1 or COM2. Console Redirection Via COM1 To activate serial console redirection via COM1, you must configure the following settings: Set Serial Communication-> Serial Communication to On with Console Redirection via COM1 Set Serial Communication-> External Serial Connector to COM1 Console Redirection Via COM2 Console Redirection via COM2 can be used to redirect either to the external connector or to the remote access device, such as a BMC or DRAC 5, for Serial Over LAN (SOL) communication. To activate serial console redirection via COM2, you must configure the following settings: Set Serial Communication-> Serial Communication to On with Console Redirection via COM2 Set Serial Communication-> External Serial Connector to COM2 NOTE: If the console redirection is used for SOL then the External Serial Connector setting does not need to be configured. When using COM2 for console redirection regardless of whether you redirect to the external connector or for SOL, the BIOS reads the SOL baud rate from the BMC and uses that setting to activate console redirection. SOL baud rate can be configured using the Dell Deployment Toolkit, OMSA, DRAC, or the BMU. Serial Port Console Redirection 125

servers, serial console redirection can be
accomplished using COM1 or COM2.
Console Redirection Via COM1
To activate serial console redirection via COM1, you must configure the
following settings:
Set
Serial Communication
->
Serial Communication
to
On with Console
Redirection via COM1
Set
Serial Communication
->
External Serial Connector
to
COM1
Console Redirection Via COM2
Console Redirection via COM2 can be used to redirect either to the external
connector or to the remote access device, such as a BMC or DRAC 5, for
Serial Over LAN (SOL) communication.
To activate serial console redirection via COM2, you must configure the
following settings:
Set
Serial Communication
->
Serial Communication
to
On with Console
Redirection via COM2
Set
Serial Communication
->
External Serial Connector
to
COM2
NOTE:
If the console redirection is used for SOL then the External Serial Connector
setting does not need to be configured.
When using COM2 for console redirection regardless of whether you redirect to
the external connector or for SOL, the BIOS reads the SOL baud rate from the
BMC and uses that setting to activate console redirection. SOL baud rate can
be configured using the Dell Deployment Toolkit, OMSA, DRAC, or the BMU.
