Using the serial port

The server serial port provides basic serial port functionality and also serves as
an interface to the remote management processor. You can configure the system
serial port for exclusive use with BMC.
You must also configure the remote management processor serial port hardware
parameters to work with your respective serial port communications software.
Remote management processor serial port configuration is controlled with the
BIOS Setup Utility.

Enabling serial access to the remote management processor

1. Power on the server by pressing the power on/off button on the front panel.
2. When POST shows the message ROM-Based Setup, press the F10 key.
If the server has an administrator password configured, the system prompts
you to enter the password. If the server does not have a password configured,
the main screen of the BIOS Setup Utility appears.
3. Press the right arrow (→) key to navigate to the Advanced menu.
4. Press the down arrow key (↓) to scroll to the IO Device Configuration menu.
Press the Enter key.
CAUTION: After the port has been enabled for use with BMC,
legacy serial devices might not function correctly if attached to the serial
port.
