--ExtSerialConnector/--extserial
Valid Arguments
• On systems prior to 12G: com1, com2, rad
• On 12G and later systems: Serial1, Serial2,
RemoteAccDeviceDescription
Description
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.
Example:
A:>syscfg --extserial=com1
extserial=com1
The --serialcomm option can be used with the external serial (--
extserial) option instead of the --conred (available on systems earlier
than PowerEdge 9G systems) option.
Applicable Systems
All PowerEdge systems except Blade systems.
--FailSafeBaud/--fsbr
Valid Arguments
• On systems prior to 12G: 115200, 57600, 19200, 9600
• On 12G and later systems: 115200, 57600, 19200, 9600
Description
Sets the console redirection fail safe baud rate in bps. The BIOS
attempts to determine the baud rate automatically. This failsafe baud
rate is used only if the attempt fails.
Example:
A:>syscfg --fsbr=9600
fsbr=9600
Applicable Systems All PowerEdge systems.
--RedirAfterBoot
Valid Arguments
• On systems prior to 12G: NA
