BIOS Setup Utilities Option Values: Disabled Serial Port A Serial Port B Help Text: Console redirection allows a serial port to be used for server management tasks. [Disabled] - No console redirection. [Serial Port A] - Configure serial port A for console redirection. Enabling this option will disable display of the Quiet Boot logo screen during POST. Comments: Serial Console Redirection can use either Serial Port A or Serial Port B. If SOL is also going to be configured, note that SOL is only supported through Serial Port A (with the exception of W2600CR, which only has Serial B so supports SOL on Serial B). When Console Redirection is set to Disabled, all other options on this screen will be grayed out and unavailable. Only Serial Ports which are Enabled should be available to choose for Console Redirection. If neither Serial A nor Serial B is set to Enabled, then Console Redirection will be forced to Disabled, and grayed out as inactive. In that case, all other options on this screen will also be grayed 2. Flow Control Option Values: None RTS/CTS Help Text: Flow control is the handshake protocol. This setting must match the remote terminal application. [None] - Configure for no flow control. [RTS/CTS] - Configure for hardware flow control. Comments: Flow control is necessary only when there is a possibility of data overrun. In that case the Request To Send/Clear to Send (RTS/CTS) hardware handshake is a relatively conservative protocol which can usually be configured at both ends. When Console Redirection is set to Disabled, this option will be grayed out and unavailable. 3. Baud Rate Option Values: 9.6k 19.2k 38.4k 57.6k 115.2k Help Text: Serial port transmission speed. This setting must match the remote terminal application. 136 Intel® Server System R2000IP Service Guide
