Issue

When connecting to the Magnia Server using the Emergency Management Port Console, via

Serial Port (9 Pin Null Modem Cable), the Redirect Window is blank and does not reflect POST

information during boot.

Synonym - EMP, E.M.P., or Emergency Management Port

Resolution

To enable EMP console redirection do the following:

  1. GO to the Server’s BIOS [under Server, Console Redirection]:
  2. Make sure the Com Port Address matches the Com Port Settings setup in the System Setup Utility. Also see TN# 98080750  Preparation for using the Emergency Management Port
  3. Baud Rate = 19.2K
  4. Console Type = PC ANSI
  5. Flow Control = CTS/RTS.

COMMENT:

The default setting for the Flow Control is set to CTS/RTS + CD. This enables modem

communication between the EMP Console and the Server. If the connection between Server and

EMP Console is done via Direct Connection (Null Modem Cable), Flow Control must be set to

CTS/RTS + CD or a blank screen will display when in Redirect Mode.
