screen details are explained as follows:
Option
Description
Serial
Communication
Selects serial communication devices (Serial Device 1 and Serial Device 2) in BIOS. BIOS console redirection can
also be enabled and the port address can be specified. This option is set to
Auto
by default.
Serial Port
Address
Enables you to set the port address for serial devices. This option is set to
Serial Device 1=COM2, Serial
Device 2=COM1
by default.
NOTE:
You can use only Serial Device 2 for the Serial Over LAN (SOL) feature. To use console
redirection by SOL, configure the same port address for console redirection and the serial device.
NOTE:
Every time the system boots, the BIOS syncs the serial MUX setting saved in iDRAC. The
serial MUX setting can independently be changed in iDRAC. Loading the BIOS default settings
from within the BIOS setup utility may not always revert the serial MUX setting to the default
setting of Serial Device 1.
External Serial

Device by using this option.
NOTE:
Only Serial Device 2 can be used for Serial Over LAN (SOL). To use console redirection by
SOL, configure the same port address for console redirection and the serial device.
NOTE:
Every time the system boots, the BIOS syncs the serial MUX setting saved in iDRAC. The
serial MUX setting can independently be changed in iDRAC. Loading the BIOS default settings
from within the BIOS setup utility may not always revert this setting to the default setting of
Serial Device 1.
Failsafe Baud Rate
