Console
Redirection
Disabled
Serial Port A
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 disables
display of the Quiet Boot logo
screen during POST.
If SOL is going to be configured, note that
SOL is only supported through Serial Port
A. Only Serial Ports that are Enabled
should be available to choose for Console
Redirection.
Flow Control
None
RTS/CTS
Flow control is the handshake
protocol.
This setting must match the
remote terminal application.
[None] – Configure for no flow
control.
[RTS/CTS] – Configure for
hardware flow control.
Flow control is necessary only when there
is a possibility of data overrun. In this case
the Request To Send/Clear to Send
(RTS/CTS) hardware handshake is a
relatively conservative protocol that can
usually be configured at both ends.

Serial port transmission speed.
This setting must match the
remote terminal application.
In most modern Server Management
applications, serial data transfer is
consolidated over an alternative faster
medium like LAN, and 115.2k is the speed
of choice.
