Select Active Standard Error Devices; Using The System Configuration Menu - HP Integrity rx2660 User's & Service Manual

NOTE: If you install a modem in your server, make sure you disable the modem serial port in
both the Active Console Input and Active Console Output device lists.
NOTE: Some operating systems support multiple consoles, such as a simultaneous serial and
VGA output. See your OS documentation to determine how many consoles are supported with
your server. Multiple consoles are not supported for HP-UX or Windows (use the Smart Setup CD
to switch between COM A and the iLO 2 MP on Windows systems).
Figure 92 Console Configuration
This menu is identical to Console Error Devices. HP Integrity servers do not support different
configurations for Input, Output, and Error console. For correct operation, you must do the following:
When changes are made to Input, Output, or Error console menus, you must make the identical
change in all menus.
When changing serial devices, you must also make changes to Input, Output, and Error menus.
To define the devices that are used to provide input and output to the system console:
1. Select the console (P Serial or S VGA).
Each option is identified with an EFI device path. Not all options are available, depending
on the configuration of the server and the options purchased.
NOTE:
2. Select the console configuration option.
On both serial device examples, UART 9600 indicates the current baud rate of the serial device
(can be changed with the EFI Shell baud command), VenMsg Vt100+ is the current emulation type
(several different terminal emulation protocols are supported.
Only one terminal emulation type can be selected for each serial console, but multiple serial
consoles can be selected at a time.

console menus, you must make the identical change in the other menu. When you change serial
devices, you must make changes to Output, Input, and Error menus for proper operation
