Connect the SER MGT Cable

The SP serial management port is labeled SER MGT. Use the SER MGT port only for server management. This port is the default connection between the SP and a terminal or a computer.


Caution

Caution  - Do not attach a modem to this port.


  1. Connect a Category 5 (or better) RJ-45 cable from the SER MGT port to a terminal device.

    Use an RJ-45 cable that is set up for a null modem configuration, in which the transmit and receive signals cross over. You can use a crossover adapter with a standard RJ-45 cable to achieve the required null modem configuration. See ADD LINK TO "RJ-45 Crossover Pinouts".
