Config Notes

Headless configuration - no graphics adapter. System configured by using the built-in NANO-BMC for serial redirection of video and keyboard.
Install: OS installed via USB CD/DVD drive.
Install: When booting to install the OS the boot parameters at the “GNU GRUB” screen must be modified by using these instructions. At the operating system boot screen press the "e" key. Use the "Down Arrow" key to move the cursor to the line that starts with "Linux". Use the "Right Arrow" key to move the cursor to the "console:ttys0" string. Replace the "console:ttys0" parameter with "console:ttys1 console:ttyS4,115200n8 systemd.wants:serial-getty@ttyS4". Then proceed with the installation by pressing “Ctrl-x or F10”. To make this change persistent after installation add the same parameters/commands in the line starting with “GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT:” in the /etc/default/grub file. Then run the following command: "transactional-update grub.cfg"
Power management: The OS-Controlled CPU frequency scaling functionality in SLES in this system is scaling to a maximum CPU frequency of 1.9 GHz.
