In the past year, I've somewhat successfully remotely installed around 300 1750s, 2 2850s, and 15 1850s. On all of them, I've used the same types of serial consoles, the same ethernet cables, and the same RJ45-DB9 Adapters.

Using these same serial consoles, Adapaters, and ethernet cables, I am unable to utilize the remote serial on the 2 dozen SC1425s I just got in. The documentation is kind of useless, since Dell basically takes the same documentation and just relabels it for each brand of server.

What I'm trying to understand is what are the correct options? I've tried different speeds. I've tried redirection after boot. I've tried redirecting through BNC (which is pointless, because IPMI 1.5 Does NOT support Serial over LAN). Nothing. Redirecting Console to Com 1, I am able to see the remote console, but not interact with it. This is really annoying.
