at the EFI boot menu and waits for user input.
Select Console Configuration
Use this option to define the devices that are used to provide input and output to the system
console. This list includes the VGA monitor and a serial port for directing input and output to
a terminal emulation package.
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.
NOTE:
Some operating systems support multiple consoles, such as a simultaneous serial and
VGA output. See your OS documentation to determine how many consoles are supported with
your server. Multiple consoles are not supported for HP-UX or Windows (use the Smart Setup
CD to switch between COM A and the iLO 2 MP on Windows systems).
Figure C-3
shows an example of the console configuration screen.
