• When changing serial devices, changes must be made to Output, Input, and Error menus for proper
operation.
• Each option is identified with an EFI device path. Not all options are available, depending on the
configuration of the system and the options purchased. Device paths might differ slightly on different
product models.
• On both serial device examples, UART 9600 indicates the current baud rate of the serial device (can be
changed with the EFI shell baud command), VenMsg Vt100+ is the current emulation type (several
different terminal emulation protocols are supported, see list above).
• Only one terminal emulation type (PcAnsi, Vt100, and so on) can be selected for each serial console, but
multiple serial consoles can be selected at a time.
Select Active Console Input Devices
Use this option to define the devices that are used to provide input to the system console.
This option displays the console devices on your system. This normally includes a standard keyboard and
mouse, and a serial port for receiving output from a terminal emulation package on a laptop. Several different
terminal emulation protocols are supported.
• When changing serial devices, changes must be made to Output, Input, and Error menus for proper
operation.
NOTE Some Operating Systems support multiple input devices, such as a simultaneous serial and
keyboard input. Refer to your OS documentation to determine how many consoles are
supported with your system.
For example:
Select the Console Input Device(s)
Acpi(PNP0501,0)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(PcAnsi)
Acpi(PNP0501,0)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(Vt100)
* Acpi(PNP0501,0)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(Vt100+)
Acpi(PNP0501,0)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(VtUtf8)
Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(1|1)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(PcAnsi)
Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(1|1)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(Vt100)
* Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(1|1)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(Vt100+)
Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(1|1)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(VtUtf8)
* indicates a currently selected device.
