Description
Allows you to enable support for PCIe devices that require large amounts
of memory. By default, the option is set to Enabled.
Description
Selects serial communication devices (Serial Device 1 and Serial Device 2)
in the BIOS. BIOS console redirection can also be enabled and the port
address can be specified. By default, Serial Communication option is set
to Auto.
Enables you to set the port address for serial devices. By default, the
Serial Port Address option is set to Serial Device 1=COM2, Serial Device
2=COM1
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. Therefore, 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.
You can associate the External Serial Connector to Serial Device 1, Serial
Device 2, or the Remote Access Device using this field.
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. Therefore, 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.
Displays 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. By default,
the Failsafe Baud Rate option is set to 115200.
Sets the remote console terminal type. By default, the Remote Terminal
Type option is set to VT 100/VT 220.
Enables or disables the BIOS console redirection when the operating
system is loaded. By default, the Redirection After Boot option is set to
Enabled.
