Service processor console redirection

If your system includes a service processor, enhanced out-of-band management features, including console redirection, might be available to you. When selecting service processor hardware to use with Emergency Management Services, ensure that the hardware supports the following functions:

  • Turn the computer on.

  • Turn the computer off.

  • Reset.

  • Console redirection.

  • Field-replaceable components (for example, service processors that are installed in sockets rather than soldered permanently in place).

For more information about selecting a service processor to complement Emergency Management Services, see Service processors. If your computer is currently equipped with a service processor, check your system documentation for more information about the out-of-band management features it provides.
