Figure 6-1: Null Modem Connection
3. Seting up the Server
The server used in this guide is a CPU board where the Award
Preboot Agent is integrated into the BIOS. Use the BIOS setup
utility to setup the Serial Console. When you turn on the computer,
the Award BIOS is immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key
allows you to enter the BIOS setup utility. Serial Console setup
items are found in the “Advanced BIOS Features” (Award Modular
6.0) or “BIOS FEATURES SETUP” (Award Modular 4.51) page.
They are listed as follows:
Console Redirection
This field allows you to enable or disable the Serial Console
function. If Enabled is selected, you must make sure that the
null modem cable connecting the two computers and the char-
acter-based terminal application are prepared.
Baud Rate
This is an important field that determines the communication
rate between the client and server. Baud rate selections are
9600, 19200, 38400, 57600 and 115200.
Note: Baud rate settings between client and server must be the
same. If they are different, the error message “Award Pre-
boot Agent Installation Failed” will be displayed when the
BIOS attempts to make a connection between server and cli-
ent.
