Console Port; Security Slots - Cisco Catalyst 2940 Overview Manual

Rear-Panel Description

Console Port

You can connect a switch to a PC through the console port by using a RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable.
If you want to connect a switch to a terminal, you need to provide an RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE
adapter. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) with that adapter from Cisco.
For console-port and adapter-pinout information, see the

Security Slots

The switches have security slots in the left and right side panels. You can install an optional cable lock,
such as the type that is used to secure a laptop computer, to secure either or both sides of the switch.
