Figure 13 shows the EMP console window in redirect state with the terminal window. The text
that appears on the server monitor displays in the redirect window.
Availability of the various EMP console features is determined by two things: the EMP access
mode selected during configuration in the System Management Submenu of the BIOS Server
Menu, and whether the server's COM2 port is configured for console redirect in BIOS. The three
EMP access modes are disabled, pre-boot, and always active.
