Item Own port on startup Dialout number spacing Description Check this check box to reserve a serial port for exclusive use by the system management subsystem. If the system management subsystem is built into your system, checking this box will reserve one of your system's serial ports. If the system management subsystem is an adapter, checking this box will reserve one of the adapter's integrated communications ports. Click on Apply after checking or unchecking this check box to save the new setting. Notes 1. Check this box if you are configuring your system for dial-in access. If this check box is not checked, you will be unable to dial into this system unless the system management subsystem has reclaimed the port for a dialout. If you want to configure the system management subsystem to always be dial-in enabled, regardless of whether the system is currently powered up, you must check this check box. When this check box is checked, you cannot configure the specified port for use by your system. 2. Only the dedicated management port (C) and the shared serial port (A) are available for use by the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter. The other serial port (B) is only available for use by the operating system. 3. Port C is dedicated for use by the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter only. Port A is used by the operating system, and is available to the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter only when one of the following conditions exists: The server is powered off The Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter needs a port to perform a Critical Dialout Event (in this case, the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter seizes control of the port from the operating system, dials out, and then powers off the server to avoid damage to your hardware). If you have configured more than one Dialout Entry to forward alerts, the system management subsystem will attempt to contact each of these entries sequentially. Use the spin buttons to specify the number of seconds for the system management subsystem to wait between dialout attempts for separate Dialout Entries. 58 Netfinity Server HMM
