Operations Guide, Fourth Edition - HP Integrity rx1620

NOTE: When this option is selected, the system does not automatically boot. The system stops
at the EFI boot menu and waits for user input.
Select Active Console Output Devices
Use this option to define the devices that display output from the system console. This list
normally includes the VGA monitor and a serial port for directing output to a terminal emulation
package.
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 consoles, such as a simultaneous serial and
VGA output. See your OS documentation to determine how many consoles are supported with
your system. Multiple consoles are not supported for HP-UX or Windows (use the Smart Setup
CD to switch between COM A and the MP on Windows systems).
For example:
Select the Console Output 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)
* Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(2|0)
* indicates a currently selected device.
This menu is identical to Console Error Devices. The hp Integrity rx1620 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.
