Settings in UEFI for SoL:
COM Port 1 has to be enabled only if the HX5 is used within a BC-H or BC-S where the
Serial Pass-thru Module is implemented.
Terminal Emulation can be set either to VT100 or ANSI; however, when configuring
Linux operating systems, make sure that the OS settings match the terminal emulation
that is selected in the hardware.
