Microsoft Windows Server 2003* has two components that work with DPCCLI and the BMC to
provide out-of-band access to the operating system:
 Microsoft Emergency Messaging Service* (EMS)
 Microsoft Special Administration Console* (SAC)
To exit SOL and return to the SMBridge prompt, press the tilde key and the period key (that is,
press ~.).
For more information, see:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/WindowsServ/2003/standard/proddocs/en-
us/EMS_SAC_commands.asp
To enable EMS on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003*, do the following.
 Log in to Microsoft Windows as an administrator.
 Launch a command prompt and enter the command bootcfg.
Figure 45. Bootcfg display with default Microsoft Windows* default setting
 Examine the output. If there is more than one boot entry, then you need to determine the default
entry by looking at the default line under Boot Loader Settings and determine whether Boot Entry
has a matching Path value. In the example shown in Figure 45 there is only one boot entry, 1.
 Issue the following command, substituting your boot entry number in the /id parameter if it is not
1 as in the example shown:
bootcfg /ems on /port com2 /baud 115200 /id 1
