I agree with Joe.  Chances are it may be "COM1" in the BIOS, but it may
be actually wired to the equivalent of COM2.  Or, the blade manufacturer
set the ACPI table to point 0x3f8/4 to COM2 and 0x2f8/3 to COM1.

I've seen this on one Supermicro board (front panel COM port is COM2,
rear is COM1; but no mention of what's what in the manual.  You actually
have to experiment to find out.)
