Serial RS-232/EIA 232 (micro DB-9) socket connector
The back of the Block and File (Unified) VNX5300 platform SP includes a standard serial
Electronics Industries Association (EIA) RS-232 interface (micro DB-9) connector (labeled
with a symbol depicting a wrench on the upper left) to connect to a PC or service laptop
computer. This serial connector (port) allows you to access the SP locally by connecting a
terminal—either a PC running terminal-emulation software or an ASCII terminal—to the
port.
