* indicates a currently selected device.

This menu is identical to Console Error Devices. The hp Integrity rx1600 Server does not support different configurations for

Output and Error console. For correct operation:

• When changes are made to either Output or Error console menus, the identical change must be made in both menus.

• 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 will be available, depending on the configuration of the

system and the options purchased. Device paths may 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 If you install a modem in your system, make sure you disable the modem serial port in both the Active

Console Input and Active Console Output device lists.

NOTE Some Operating Systems support multiple input devices, such as a simultaneous serial and keyboard input.

See your OS documentation to determine how many consoles are supported with your system.
