Connect the SER MGT Cable
The SP serial management port is labeled SER MGT. Use the SP SER MGT port only for server management. This port is the default connection between the SP and a terminal or a computer.
 | Caution - Do not attach a modem to this port. |
- Connect
an RJ-45 cable (Category 5 or better) from the SER MGT 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 RJ-45 Crossover Pinouts.
Note - To achieve 1-GbE network speeds, use Category 6 (or better) cables and network devices that support 1000BASE-T networks.
