4. When done, press [F10] to "Save changes and Exit."
The HP NetServer reboots and incorporates the new information in the
NetServer's BIOS.
CAUTION As long as the BIOS-level Console Redirection is enabled,
your NetServer's security is easily breached. Therefore, HP
advises that you disable console redirection as soon as you or
the remote user are finished using HP Remote Console
Redirection. This requires going back into the NetServer's
BIOS setup program and setting the "COM Port Address"
entry setting (shown in Table 1, above) to "disabled."
Modem Installation
To enable console redirection, you need to connect an external modem to the
NetServer port you assigned for use with console redirection. The ports are
designated on the back of the NetServer. Connect the modem to Serial A.
Modem Initialization
At the HP NetServer, the third step required to enable a Remote Console is
initializing the modem.
To initialize the modem and initiate a remote console session:
1. Reboot the server and, when prompted, press [F12].
The server displays the Utility Partition Manager.
