Cabling and Power Up
System Console Selection
If you choose either a system or MP serial port HP recommends that you use a vt100+ capable terminal
device.
Additional Notes on Console Selection
Each Operating System makes decisions based on the EFI Boot Maintenance Manager menu's Select Active
Console selections to determine where to send its output. If incorrect console devices are chosen the OS may
fail to boot or will boot with output directed to the wrong location. Therefore, any time new potential console
devices are added to the system or anytime NVRAM on the system is cleared console selections should be
reviewed to ensure that they are correct.
