S2600GZ and S2600GL

BIOS Setup Utility Intel® Server Board S2600GZ/GL TPS
Only ports which actually exist for a particular NIC or IOM will appear in this section. That is, Port1-
Port4 will appear for a quad-port NIC, Port1-Port2 will appear for a dual-port NIC, and only Port1 will
appear for a single-port NIC.
The default state of each Port PXE Boot option is Enabled, if the corresponding PXE Boot OPROM of
the same speed is Enabled. If a PXE Boot OPROM for 1 GbE or 10 GbE changes from Disabled to
Enabled, then the Port PXE Boot option becomes Enabled for all ports of that speed
If the PXE Boot OPROM for1 GbE NICs or 10 GbE NICs is disabled, PXE Boot will be disabled and
grayed out as unchangeable for all ports on NICs or IO Modules of that same speed.
Conversely, if PXE Boot is disabled for all ports of a given speed, the corresponding PXE Option ROM
will be disabled, but not grayed out since it could be selected.

Serial Port Configuration
The Serial Port Configuration screen allows the user to configure the Serial A and Serial B ports. In Legacy ISA
nomenclature, these are ports COM1 and COM2 respectively.
To access this screen from the Main screen, select Advanced > Serial Port Configuration. To move to
another screen, press the <Esc> key to return to the Advanced screen, then select the desired screen.
The primary usage for these serial ports is to enable Serial Console Redirection and Serial Over LAN (SOL)
capabilities. Either port can be used for Serial Console Redirection, but SOL is only supported on Serial A. See
Figure 55 for Console Redirection Configuration.
The exception to this is the W2600CR Workstation, which does not provide a Serial A port. With W2600CR,
Serial A will not appear for configuration here, and Serial B will support SOL functionality if required.
