Server Utilities When Console Redirection is active, all POST and Setup displays are in Text Mode. The Quiet Boot setting is disregarded, and the Text Mode POST Diagnostic Screen will be displayed regardless of the Quiet Boot setting. This is due to the limitations of Console Redirection, which is based on data terminal emulation using a serial data interface to transfer character data. Console Redirection can use either of the two Serial Ports provided by the SuperIO in the BMC. However, if Console Redirection is to be coordinated with Serial Over LAN, the user should be aware that SOL is only supported through Serial Port A (except for W2600CR, which only has Serial B and supports SOL on Serial B).

When Console Redirection is active, all POST and Setup displays are in Text Mode. The Quiet
Boot setting is disregarded, and the Text Mode POST Diagnostic Screen will be displayed
regardless of the Quiet Boot setting. This is due to the limitations of Console Redirection, which is
based on data terminal emulation using a serial data interface to transfer character data.
Console Redirection can use either of the two Serial Ports provided by the SuperIO in the BMC.
However, if Console Redirection is to be coordinated with Serial Over LAN, the user should be
aware that SOL is only supported through Serial Port A (except for W2600CR, which only has
Serial B and supports SOL on Serial B).
