Virtual Serial Port

The Virtual Serial Port option assigns the logical COM Port number and associated default resources used

by the Virtual Serial Port. When enabled, the option provides remote access through the iLO management
controller to BIOS Serial Console.

NOTE:

The Virtual Serial Port option requires iLO Firmware version 1.55 or later.

For detailed information about iLO configurations, refer to the

HP Integrated Lights-Out User Guide
