NOTE: If you install a modem in your server, make sure you disable the modem serial port in

both the Active Console Input and Active Console Output device lists.

Some operating systems support multiple consoles, such as a simultaneous serial and VGA

output. To determine how many consoles are supported with your server, see your OS

documentation. Multiple consoles are not supported for HP-UX or Windows (use the Smart

Setup CD to switch between COM A and the iLO 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 rx4640 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.

Table C-3 Console Output Devices

Acpi(PNP0501,0)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(Vt100+)Serial A/Serial 1

• Each option is identified with an EFI device path. Not all options will be available, depending

on the configuration of the server and the options purchased. Device paths can 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, etc.) can be selected for each serial console,

but multiple serial consoles can be selected at a time.

Console Configuration

To define the devices that display output from the system console, use this option. This list

normally includes the VGA monitor and a serial port for directing output to a terminal emulation

package.
