Command-line interface

Once the management computer detects connection to the USB-capable device, the Management Controller awaits input
of characters from the host computer via the command-line. To see the command-line prompt, you must press Enter. The
MC provides direct access to the CLI.
NOTE: Directly cabling to the CLI port is an out-of-band connection, because it communicates outside of the data
paths used to transfer information from a computer or network to the controller enclosure.

Device driver/special operation mode

Certain operating systems require a device driver or special mode of operation. Product and vendor identification
information required for such setup is provided below.

Microsoft Windows

Microsoft Windows operating systems provide a USB serial port driver. However, the USB driver requires details for
connecting to 5005/4005 Series controller enclosures. The 5005/4005 Series provides a device driver for use in the
Windows environment. The USB device driver and installation instructions are available via a download.
Obtaining the software download
IMPORTANT: If using Windows 10/Server 2016, the operating system provides a native USB serial driver that supports
the controller module's USB CLI port. However, if using an older version of Windows, you should download and install the
USB device driver, using the procedure below.
1. Verify that the management computer has Internet access.
2. For customer support, see
a. From By Product, select Cloud Systems Group.
b. From USB Drivers, select the DH USB Driver.
The DH USB Driver zip file will appear in your Downloads directory.
