NOTE:
Some operating systems support multiple input devices, such as a simultaneous serial
and keyboard input. See your OS documentation to determine how many consoles are supported
with your system.
For example:
Select the Console Input Device(s)
Acpi(PNP0501,0)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(PcAnsi)
Acpi(PNP0501,0)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(Vt100)
* Acpi(PNP0501,0)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(Vt100+)
Acpi(PNP0501,0)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(VtUtf8)
Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(1|1)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(PcAnsi)
Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(1|1)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(Vt100)
* Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(1|1)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(Vt100+)
Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(1|1)/Uart(9600 N81)/VenMsg(VtUtf8)
* Indicates a currently selected device.
•
Each option is identified with an EFI Device path. Not all options will be available, depending
on the configuration of the system and the options available. Device paths can differ slightly
on different product models.
•
On both serial device examples,
UART 9600
indicates the current baud rate of the serial
device,
VenMsg Vt100+
is the current emulation type. Several different terminal emulation
protocols are supported.
•
Only one terminal emulation type (PcAnsi, Vt100, and so on) can be selected for each serial
console, but multiple serial consoles can be selected at once.

Use this option to define the devices that display error messages from the system console.
This menu is identical to the Console Output Devices menu. The server does not support different
configurations for Output and Error console. When you make changes to either Output or Error
console menus, you must make the identical change in the other menu. When you change serial
devices, you must make changes to Output, Input, and Error menus for proper operation
