Option Description Table 33. Slot Disablement (continued) Option Slot 5 Description Enables or disables or only the boot driver is disabled for the PCIe slot 5. This option is set to Enabled by default. Serial Communication You can use the Serial Communication screen to view the properties of the serial communication port. Viewing Serial Communication To view the Serial Communication screen, perform the following steps: Steps 1. Power on, or restart your system. 2. Press F2 immediately after you see the following message: F2 = System Setup NOTE: If your operating system begins to load before you press F2, wait for the system to finish booting, and then restart your system and try again. 3. On the System Setup Main Menu screen, click System BIOS. 4. On the System BIOS screen, click Serial Communication. Serial Communication details About this task The Serial Communication screen details are explained as follows: Option Description Serial Port Address Enables you to set the port address for serial device. This field sets the serial port address to either COM1 or COM2 (COM1=0x3F8, COM2=0x2F8). NOTE: You can use only Serial Device 2 for the Serial Over LAN (SOL) feature. To use console redirection by SOL, configure the same port address for console redirection and the serial device. NOTE: Every time the system boots, the BIOS syncs the serial MUX setting saved in iDRAC. The serial MUX setting can independently be changed in iDRAC. Loading the BIOS default settings from within the BIOS setup utility may not always revert the serial MUX setting to the default setting of Serial Device 1. Failsafe Baud Rate Specifies the failsafe baud rate for console redirection. The BIOS attempts to determine the baud rate automatically. This failsafe baud rate is used only if the attempt fails, and the value must not be changed. This option is set to 115200 by default. Remote Terminal Enables you to set the remote console terminal type. This option is set to VT100/VT220 by default. Type Redirection After Enables or disables the BIOS console redirection when the operating system is loaded. This option is set to Boot Enabled by default.
