Chapter Four Configuration Software and Utilities
The EMP Console window is displayed (previous page) in the redirect mode with the
terminal window. The text that appears on the server monitor displays in the
Redirect window.
The availability of the various EMP Console features is determined by two factors:
the BIOS EMP access mode and whether or not the server’s COM2 port is
configured for console redirection. The three EMP access modes are disabled, pre-
boot and always active.
