Menu Item Description
NOTE: Every time the system boots, the BIOS syncs the serial MUX
setting saved in iDRAC. The serial MUX setting can independently
be changed in iDRAC. Therefore, loading the BIOS default settings
from within the BIOS setup utility may not always revert this setting
to the default setting of Serial Device 1.
Failsafe Baud Rate Displays the failsafe baud rate for console redirection. The BIOS
attempts to determine the baud rate automatically. This failsafe baud
rate is used only if the attempt fails, and the value must not be changed.
By default, the Failsafe Baud Rate option is set to 115200.
Remote Terminal Type Sets the remote console terminal type. By default, the Remote Terminal
Type option is set to VT100/VT220.
Redirection After Boot Enables or disables the BIOS console redirection when the operating
system is loaded. By default, the Redirection After Boot option is set to
Enabled.
