Server Console Redirection???

Recommended Posts

My dad bought a new server a while back, IBM xSeries 360 with an intel Xeon processor, then he bought WIndows 2003 for Server and while reading the system requirements we came across Console Redierction

 

 

 

I went through most search engines etc etc and couldn't figure out what is was...though one site said it was only on Dell servers

 

I need to know what it is, and what it does, and wether that one site was wrong or not

 

 

 

please post if you know, thanks

Looks like it's just a second way to remotely manage the server when a network connection isn't available and there's no local keyboard/mouse/screen plugged into it. The page above also says it isn't enabled by default, so hardware that doesn't support it shouldn't be a problem.
