Server Utilities If the PXE Boot OPROM for 1 GbE NICs or 10 GbE NICs is disabled, PXE Boot will be disabled and grayed out as unchangeable for all ports on NICs or IO Modules of that same speed. Conversely, if PXE Boot is disabled for all ports of a given speed, the corresponding PXE Option ROM will be disabled but not grayed out since it could be selected.

Serial Port Configuration
The Serial Port Configuration screen allows the user to configure the Serial A and Serial B ports. In
Legacy ISA nomenclature, these are ports COM1 and COM2 respectively.
To access this screen from the
Main
screen, select
Advanced > Serial Port Configuration
. To
move to another screen, press the <Esc> key to return to the
Advanced
screen, then select the
desired screen.
The primary usage for these serial ports is to enable Serial Console Redirection and Serial Over
LAN (SOL) capabilities. Either port can be used for Serial Console Redirection but SOL is only
supported on Serial A.
