19200, 9600
• On Dell’s 12th generation PowerEdge 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
Table 170. RedirAfterBoot
Valid Arguments
