for control. When this option is set to boot driver disabled, both the Option
ROM and UEFI driver from the slot will not run during POST. The system will
not boot from the card and its pre-boot services will not be available. However,
the card is available to the operating system.
Slot n: Enables or disables or only the boot driver is disabled for the PCIe slot

Description
Enables the serial communication options. 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.
Enables you to set the port address for serial devices. This option is set to
Serial Device1=COM2,, Serial Device 2=COM1 and set to by default.
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
