default)
Enables or disables the system's integrated NIC. Options are Enabled without PXE, Enabled with PXE, and Disabled. PXE support
allows the system to boot from the network. Changes take effect after the system reboots.

Serial Port 1
(COM1 default)
Serial Port 1 options are COM1, COM3, BMC Serial, BMC NIC, and Off. If an optional remote access controller (RAC) is installed in the
system, RAC is an additional option.
Serial port 1 shares three usage models. For standard usage, serial port 1 attempts to use COM1 first, and then COM3. For BMC
usage, serial port 1 uses the COM1 address and communication can be either via the serial port or the integrated shared NIC. RAC
control uses only the COM1 address.
NOTE: Off and COM3 are not available options when Console Redirection is set to use serial port 1.
Speaker
(On default)
Sets the integrated speaker On or Off. A change to this option takes effect immediately (rebooting the system is not required).
