Screen Field Descriptions:
1. Console Redirection
Option Values: Disabled
Serial Port A
Serial Port B
Help Text:
Console redirection allows a serial port to be used for server management tasks.
[Disabled] - No console redirection.
[Serial Port A] - Configure serial port A for console redirection.
Enabling this option will disable display of the Quiet Boot logo screen during POST.
Comments: Serial Console Redirection can use either Serial Port A or Serial Port B. If SOL is
also going to be configured, note that SOL is only supported through Serial Port A (with the
exception of W2600CR, which only has Serial B so supports SOL on Serial B).
When Console Redirection is set to Disabled, all other options on this screen will be grayed out
and unavailable.
Only Serial Ports which are Enabled should be available to choose for Console Redirection. If
neither Serial A nor Serial B is set to Enabled, then Console Redirection will be forced to
Disabled, and grayed out as inactive. In that case, all other options on this screen will also be
grayed.
