Using SOL you can: • Remotely access operating systems with no time-out. • Diagnose host systems on Emergency Management Services (EMS) or Special Administrator Console (SAC) for Windows or Linux shell. • View the progress of a servers during POST and reconfigure the BIOS setup program. To setup the SOL communication mode: 1. Configure BIOS for serial connection. 2. Configure iDRAC to Use SOL. 3. Enable a supported protocol (SSH, Telnet, IPMItool).
