Serial Port Address
(Serial Device 1=COM1, 
Serial Device 2=COM2 
default)
Sets the serial port addresses for the two serial devices.

the same port address for console redirection and the 
serial device.
External Serial Connector
(Serial Device1 default)
Specifies whether Serial Device 1, Serial Device 2, 
or Remote Access Device has access to the 
external serial connector.

LAN (SOL). To use console redirection by SOL, 
configure the same port address for console redirection 
and the serial device.
Failsafe Baud Rate
(115200 default)
Displays the failsafe baud rate used for console 
redirection. BIOS attempts to determine the baud rate 
automatically. This failsafe baud rate is used only if the 
attempt fails. This rate should not be adjusted.

(VT100/VT220 default)
Sets the remote console terminal type, either 
VT100/VT220 or ANSI.
Redirection After Boot
