Select the Devices and I/O Ports choice to view or change the assignments for devices and input/output ports.

You can add serial ports by installing a serial adapter in an expansion slot.

You can control the startup sequence of the devices in the server. Each time that you power-on the server, it checks the devices as it looks for the operating system.
The order in which the system checks the devices is the device-startup sequence.
