from a console terminal connected to the port through the provided serial cable (with USB UART-A to back-plane to CMC). The console port supports asynchronous data of eight data bits, one stop bit, no parity bit, and no flow control. The default baud rate is 115200 bps. The lower USB port (in the following figure) functions as an external flash drive that you can use to store configuration files, load new images, and import or export scripts or report files used in virtualization application. - Page 11 NOTE: When the ingress air temperature exceeds 60°C, the Status LED turns Amber and a major alarm is triggered.
