C-6 Emergency Management Port
Setting Up the Server for the EMP
To use the EMP, you must configure the server's BIOS with specific settings. These
settings take place in two submenus of the BIOS Server menu, the System Management
Submenu and the Console Redirection Submenu. The earlier BIOS settings section
shows all available options. This section focuses on those settings that must be
configured to use the EMP.
System Management Submenu
All EMP related settings occur from the System Management Submenu of the Server
main menu. Change only the items below; all other default settings should remain the
same.
EMP Password Switch & EMP Password: Anytime you attempt to initiate a
connection, a prompt for the user password appears. If you never set up the EMP
password, anyone can access the EMP by clicking OK through the password prompt.
In the EMP Password area of the System Management Submenu, the EMP Password
Switch option must be set to enable. Then type in a password of up to 8 alphanumeric
characters. If a beep is heard, the password was accepted.
EMP Access Modes: Choose either Disabled, Pre-boot, or Always Active, depending
on the type of EMP access needed. The tables above show what is available with a
given setting.
EMP Restricted Mode Access: Set Restricted Mode to either enabled or disabled as
needed. If in enabled mode, this means that the EMP Console's server control options,
Power Off and Reset, are unavailable, except power on. In disabled mode, these same
server control options are available.
EMP Direct Connect/Modem Mode: Select Direct Connect if a null modem serial
cable directly connects the server's COM 2 port to the EMP Console client machine. If
they are connected via a modem, select Modem Mode.
