EMS Console The EMS Console option is a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 feature that enables the Emergency Management Console to be redirected through a specified serial port. Options include: • Disabled (default for all servers except blades) • COM1 (default for blade servers) • COM2 NOTE: • When using iLO, select the value assigned to the Virtual Serial Port ("Virtual Serial Port" (page 14)). • When redirecting EMS through a physical serial port, select the value assigned to the Embedded Serial Port ("Embedded Serial Port" (page 12)). EMS provides input/output support for all Microsoft Windows kernel components: the loader, setup, recovery console, OS kernel, blue screens, and the Special Administration Console. The Special Administration Console is a text mode management console available after Windows Server 2003 OS has initialized. For more information on EMS, go to the Microsoft website (www.microsoft.com). Microsoft enables EMS in the OS, but EMS must also be enabled in the ROM. When enabled, EMS assumes the serial port for redirection and may cause interference with other devices attached to the serial port. To avoid interference, EMS is disabled in the system ROM by default on HP ProLiant ML and DL servers. If EMS is disabled in Windows Server 2003, perform the following steps to update the boot.ini file: 1. Enable EMS in RBSU. 2. Run bootcfg/ems on/id 1. 3. Reboot. BIOS Serial Console & EMS menu 97
