IMPORTANT:
The BIOS Serial Console & EMS option configures the serial port to view POST error messages
and run RBSU remotely through a serial connection to the server COM port. The remote server
does not require a keyboard or mouse. BIOS Serial Console is disabled in the ROM by default.
EMS is enabled in the OS by default, but must also be enabled in the ROM.
For more information about the BIOS Serial Console, see

BIOS Serial Console design supports VT100+ protocol, and ANSI and V100 terminal emulation.
VT100 is supported by all terminal emulation programs. However, ANSI supports enhanced

it meets the system requirements. CLI support is available on some new servers for faster, more
compatible display when configuring a server using VT100 emulation. For more information, see
"BIOS Serial Console/CLI overview" (page
