NOTE: You can use only Serial Device 2 for the Serial Over LAN (SOL) feature.
To use console redirection by SOL, configure the same port address for
console redirection and the serial device.
NOTE: Every time the system boots, the BIOS syncs the serial MUX 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 the serial MUX setting to the default setting of Serial
Device 1.
