Description
The default is set to Platform Default Bifurcation. The slot bifurcation field is
accessible when set to Manual bifurcation Control and is grayed out when set to
Platform Default Bifurcation.
Description
Selects serial communication devices (Serial Device 1 and Serial Device 2) in BIOS.
BIOS console redirection can also be enabled, and the port address can be specified.
This option is set to Auto by default.
Enables you to set the port address for serial devices. This option is set to Serial
Device1=COM2, Serial Device 2=COM1 by default. This field sets the serial port
address to either COM1 or COM2 (COM1=0x3F8, COM2=0x2F8).
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 that is 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.
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:
Only Serial Device 2 can be used for Serial Over LAN (SOL). 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 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.
