SYSCFG 41
--extserial com1, com2,
rad
This option sets the behavior of the external serial
connector. When set to com1, the BIOS maps the
external serial connector to COM port 1. The
com1 setting is the default.
When set to com2, the external serial connector
is routed to the COM2 interface. Terminal escape
sequences can toggle the external connector
between the system (COM2) and the remote
access device.
When set to rad, the external serial connector is
routed to the remote access device interface.
Terminal escape sequences can toggle the
external connector between the system (COM2)
and the remote access device.
This option can be replicated.
NOTE: This option is not supported on PowerEdge
1955 systems.
Example:
A:>syscfg --extserial=com1
extserial=com1
On Dell
™ PowerEdge ™ x9xx systems, the --
serialcomm option can be used with the external
serial (--extserial) option instead of the --conred
option.
--fiberchannel enable,
disable
This option enables or disables embedded fiber
channel. This option can be replicated.
Example:
A:>syscfg --fiberchannel=enable
fiberchannel=enable
