Where do you have it plugged in at the G-site?
Don't learn safety by accident.

The expenses related to safety are nothing compared to the cost of an incident.

If you are connected via com port one there is a way to redirect the output to com two on the motherboard. You would need to get into BIOS, swap the base address and interrupt between com one and two, then move the connector on the motherboard from the com one connector to com two. WARNING, changing anything in the BIOS can cause the system not to run or operate properly. Any good G-Site tech should be able to handle this in 15-20 minutes.
