Diagnostics CD or Service Partition tools.

Note – The BIOS supports redirection of both video and keyboard by means of a
serial link (rear RJ45 serial COM2 connector). When console redirection is enabled,
the local (host server) keyboard input and video output are passed both to the local
keyboard and video connections, and to the remote console through the serial link.
Keyboard inputs from both sources are valid and video is displayed to both outputs.
As an option, the system can be operated without a keyboard or monitor attached to
the host system and run entirely from the remote console. Setup and any other
text-based utilities can be accessed through console redirection.
5. Press Esc to go back to the main BIOS setup menu.
