Microsoft enables EMS in the OS, but EMS must also be enabled in the ROM. EMS, when enabled,
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 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.
