ExtSerialConnector or extserial
Table 184. ExtSerialConnector or extserial
Valid Arguments
● On systems prior to Dell’s YX2X systems: com1, com2, rad
● On Dell’s YX2X 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.

Table 185. FailSafeBaud or fsbr
Valid Arguments
● On systems prior to Dell’s YX2X systems: 115200, 57600, 19200, 9600
● On Dell’s YX2X 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
