Windows EMS Console with iLO Virtual Serial Port
iLO enables you to use the Windows EMS Console over the network through a web browser. EMS
enables you to perform emergency management services when video, device drivers, or other
OS features prevent normal operation and normal corrective actions from being performed.
When using the Windows EMS Console with iLO:
• The Windows EMS console must be configured in the OS before you can use the iLO Virtual
Serial Port. For information about how to enable the EMS console, see your OS
documentation. If the EMS console is not enabled in the OS, iLO displays an error message
when you try to access the iLO Virtual Serial Port.
• The Windows EMS serial port must be enabled through the UEFI System Utilities. The
configuration options allow you to enable or disable the EMS port, and select the COM port.
iLO automatically detects whether the EMS port is enabled or disabled, and detects the
selection of the COM port.
• You can use the Windows EMS Console and the iLO Remote Console at the same time.
• To display the SAC> prompt, you might have to press Enter after connecting through the iLO
Virtual Serial Port.
