He means that if your computer has serial port (9 or 25 pin D-shaped), and you have one more computer with such serial port nearby, you could connect them and have first computer do output over serial connection to second one, which will act as "serial console" in such case. As second computer does not powered-off then first one does, it is possible to see log of powering-off first computer on a second one.
