Operations Guide, Fourth Edition - HP Integrity rx1620

• 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.
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.
