BIOS Level Setup
HP Console Redirection is built into the NetServer E 40 system BIOS, and
enabled through a series of steps in the BIOS setup program.
NOTE The HP NetServer must be rebooted as part of the installation
for console redirection at the server.
The HP NetServer E 40 is equipped with two built-in serial ports located on the
back of the unit. They are designated Serial A (COM 1) and Serial B (COM 2).
To install and configure console redirection at the server:
1. Power on (or reboot) the HP NetServer and, when prompted during boot-
up, press [F2] to run the Setup program.
2. On the BIOS Setup Main Menu, using the arrow keys, cursor to the
Configuration pull-down menu. Select "Integrated I/O Ports," and press
Enter.
The server displays a list of Integrated I/O Ports.
3. On the Integrated I/O Ports screen, cursor to "Console Redirect Port" and
select a serial port for console redirection. Using [F7] and [F8] to toggle
through the options, match your port to the interrupt data provided in the
table below.
Table E-2. HP NetServer E 40 Default Serial Port Interrupts

Serial B COM 2 2F8h IRQ 3
NOTE Your serial port IRQ and I/O address settings must match the
entry in the Console Redirect Port field. If you are unable to
match these settings, consult your system administrator or HP
technical representative.
4. When the entry in the Console Redirect Port field properly identifies your
port selection, press ESC.
The server saves your changes and returns to the Configuration menu.
5. On the Configuration menu, cursor to Exit and select "Save changes and
Exit."
