issues related to unsupported hardware. We strongly recommend that you use only
supported USB flash drives.
All USB flash drives used on EX Series switches must have the following features:
• USB 2.0 or later.
• Formatted with a FAT or MS-DOS file system.
• If the switch is running Junos OS Release 9.5 or earlier, the formatting method must use a primary
boot record. Microsoft Windows formatting, by default, does not use a primary boot record. See the
documentation for your USB flash drive for information about how your USB flash drive is formatted.
Mini-USB Port Pinout Specifications
If your management host (laptop or PC) does not have a DB-9 plug connector pin or an RJ-45 connector
pin but has a USB port, you can connect your management host to the Mini-USB Type-B console port
by using a cable that has a standard Type-A USB connector on one end and a Mini-USB Type-B (5-pin)
connector on the other end.
The Mini-USB Type-B console port uses a Mini-USB Type-B connector to connect to a console
management device. The default baud rate for the console port is 9600 baud.
Table 26 on page 86
