Exit
Interrupting the timeout during the countdown stops the Boot Manager from loading any boot options
automatically. If there is no countdown, boot options must be selected manually.
• To set the auto boot timeout value, in seconds, select Set Timeout Value and enter the desired value.
• To disable the timeout function, select Delete/Disable Timeout.
NOTE When this option is selected, the system does not automatically boot. The system stops at the
EFI boot menu and waits for user input.
Select Active Console Output Devices
Use this option to define the devices that display output from the system console. This list normally includes
the VGA monitor and a serial port for directing output to a terminal emulation package.
NOTE If you install a modem in your system, 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
system. Multiple consoles are not supported for HP-UX or Windows (use the Smart Setup CD
to switch between COM A and the MP on Windows systems).
For example:
Select the Console Output Device(s)
Acpi(PNP0501,0)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(PcAnsi)
