Description
BIOS setup utility may not always revert the serial MUX setting to the
default setting of Serial Device 1.
Enables you to associate the External Serial Connector to Serial Device 1,
Serial Device 2, or the Remote Access Device by using this option. This
option is set to Serial Device 1 by default.
NOTE:
To use console redirection by SOL, configure the same port address for
console redirection and the serial device.
NOTE:
setting saved in iDRAC. The serial MUX setting can independently be
changed in iDRAC. Loading the BIOS default settings from within the BIOS
setup utility may not always revert this setting to the default setting of
Serial Device 1.
Specifies the failsafe baud rate for console redirection. The BIOS attempts to
determine the baud rate automatically. This failsafe baud rate is used only if
the attempt fails, and the value must not be changed. This option is set to
115200 by default.
Sets the remote console terminal type. This option is set to VT100/VT220 by
default.
Enables or disables the BIOS console redirection when the operating system is
loaded. This option is set to Enabled by default.
Description
Sets the system profile. If you set the System Profile option to a mode other than Custom,
the BIOS automatically sets the rest of the options. You can only change the rest of the
options if the mode is set to Custom. This option is set to Performance Per Watt (OS) by
default. Other options include Performance and Custom.
NOTE:
All the parameters on the system profile setting screen are available only when
the System Profile option is set to Custom.
Sets the CPU power management. This option is set to OS DBPM by default. Other option
includes Maximum Performance.
Sets the speed of the system memory. You can select Maximum Performance or a specific
speed. This option is set to Maximum Performance by default.
Enables or disables the processor to operate in the turbo boost mode. This option is set to
Enabled by default.
Enables or disables the processor to operate in all available power states. C States allow the
processor to enter lower power states when idle. When set to Enabled (OS controlled) or
when set to Autonomous (if hardware controlled is supported), the processor can operate
in all available Power States to save power, but may increase memory latency and frequency
jitter. This option is set to Enabled by default.
Sets the memory patrol scrub mode. This option is set to Standard by default.
Sets the memory refresh rate to either 1x or 2x. This option is set to 1x by default.
Only Serial Device 2 can be used for Serial Over LAN (SOL).
Every time the system boots, the BIOS syncs the serial MUX
