External Serial Connector
Associates the External Serial Connector to Serial Device 1, Serial Device 2, or the Remote Access Device.
Failsafe Baud Rate
The BIOS attempts to determine the baud rate automatically. This failsafe baud rate is used only if the attempt fails.
Remote Terminal Type
Sets your remote console's terminal type. The <Ctrl><Alt><Del> key sequence is mapped to <ESC>+<R>+<ESC>+<r>+<ESC>+<R> on the Terminal. The <Ctrl>+<H>, <Ctrl>+<I>, <Ctrl>+<J>, <Ctrl>+<M> key sequences are mapped to <ESC>+<Ctrl>+<H>, <ESC>+<Ctrl>+<I>, <ESC>+<Ctrl>+<J>, <ESC>+<Ctrl>+<M> on the Terminal. The <Alt>+<x> key sequences are mapped to <ESC>+<X>+<X>on the Terminal, where x is any letter key, and X is the upper case of that key.
Redirection After Boot
Sets the BIOS console redirection to enable or disable when the operating system is loaded.
