13. If you also want to configure the serial port, continue with "Configuring the
serial port for text-based remote access". Otherwise, go to "Installing Advanced
System Management device drivers" on page 24.
Configuring the serial port for text-based remote access: Complete the
following steps to configure the Remote Supervisor Adapter serial port for access
using a modem or null modem. If you completed the procedure for configuring the
Ethernet port and the Configuration Settings window is open, go to step 4.
1. With the server turned off, insert the CD containing the EFI Remote Supervisor
Utility program into the drive; then, turn on the server.
2. The utility starts automatically, displaying the Remote Supervisor Utility
window.
3. Use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys (↑ and ↓) to select Configuration
Settings; then, press Enter.
The Configuration Settings window opens.
4. Use the arrow keys to select Modem Settings; then, press Enter.
The Modem Settings window opens, as shown in the following illustration.
Note: The values in the window are only examples; your settings might be
different.
5. Verify the following serial port values:
Baud Rate
The default is 57600. Make sure that the baud rate matches the baud
rate of the device you are connecting to the serial port on the Remote
Supervisor Adapter.
Dedicated to ASM
The default is Disabled. If you are using point-to-point protocol (PPP),
set this field to Enabled. If the value in this field is Enabled when the
server is restarted, the serial port remains dedicated to system
management and is not returned to the operating system.
Note: To use this serial port, you must first install the ASM device
drivers as described in "Installing Advanced System
Management device drivers" on page 24.
