Using the serial port
The server serial port provides basic serial port functionality and also serves as
an interface to the remote management processor. You can share the serial port
between the remote management processor and the rest of the system or
configure the remote management processor not to use the serial port.
You must configure the remote management processor serial port hardware
parameters to work with your respective serial port communications software.
Remote management processor serial port configuration is controlled with BIOS
Setup.
Sharing the serial port with the remote management processor
The serial port can be configured to work in two different ways:
•
Shared—The BIOS enables the serial port as a regular system serial port for
use with legacy serial devices, as well as to communicate with the remote
management processor.
•
Not Shared—The server uses the serial port as a standard system serial port,
but remote management processor is prohibited from using the serial port.
To enable or disable the serial port sharing:
1. Power on the server by pressing the power on/off button on the front panel.

where to send the PET if it is configured to send the trap to a remote system. This
section has up to four entries specifying IP and MAC addresses. The address to
use is selected in the Alert Policy Table (shown in the figure).
The Alert Policy Table section has three fields:
•
Policy Enable—This field enables you to selectively enable and disable trap
forwarding.
•
Policy Number—This field enables you to choose a policy that will be used
in PEF configuration.
•
Destination Selector—This field specifies where to send the PET trap from
