If the connection is successful you should be able to see the BIOS Power On (POST)
screen after powering the unit:
Note!
Please note that the BIOS is doing some initial start up work while the console
is still not active. It may take a while until the BIOS POST screen appears. On
the other hand, the BIOS has been optimized for minimum boot time. The
BIOS will move through POST quickly and immediately try to boot an OS
according to the selected boot options in the BIOS.
