Task

Install the RJ-45 copper cable that is shipped with the system into the console

port.

CAUTION: You must install a straight-through RJ-45 copper cable

(a standard Ethernet cable) into the console port. This is different from

many other implementations that require an Ethernet crossover cable (or

rollover cable). If connecting to a terminal server and using a crossover

cable, daisychain another crossover cable to effectively get a straight-

through cable connection. Many console terminal servers use octopus

cables that are crossover cables. To accommodate the octopus cable,

connect an additional crossover cable, as above, to effectively install a

straight-through cable.

If necessary, connect the RJ-45/DB-9 adapter that is shipped with the system to

the end of the RJ-45 cable that will connect to your terminal.
