Connecting the Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnect
Figure 33: Connecting to the Console Port on a Cisco UCS 6296
You can use the console port to perform the following:
Before you begin
You may have to acquire some or all of the following:
• The Cisco serial console management cable (CAB-CONSOLE-RJ45=).
• A USB to DB9 serial adapter and any drivers the adapter requires.
• Terminal emulation software such as PuTTY, HyperTerminal or Procomm Plus.
• A computer that can support VT100 terminal emulation.
Procedure
Step 1
Plug the RJ-45 end of the serial management cable into the Console port on the fabric interconnect, and connect
the DB-9 male end into the serial port on a laptop or other computer.
If the computer you will use does not have a serial port, you will need to use the Serial to USB adapter. Be
sure to install the drivers for your adapter.
Step 2
Start your terminal software.
Step 3 Configure the terminal software as follows:
• The COM port for the connection you are about to establish is the connection to the fabric interconnect.
You may need to look in the computer's device manager to confirm this.
• The other connection parameters are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
