Connecting a DB9-to-RJ45 console cable

CAUTION:
Follow these guidelines when you connect a DB9-to-RJ45 console cable:
• Identify the mark on the serial console port and make sure you are connecting to the correct port.
• The serial ports on PCs do not support hot swapping. To connect a PC to an operating switch,
first connect the PC end. To disconnect a PC from an operating switch, first disconnect the switch
end.

end for connecting to the serial console port of the switch, and a DB-9 female connector at the other
