You can configure and manage these devices by using a dedicated management channel.
Each device has a console port to which you can connect an Ethernet cable with an RJ-45
connector. Use the console port to connect the device to the console server or
management console. The console port accepts a cable that has an RJ-45 connector.
Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable that has an RJ-45 connector at either end. One
such cable and an RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter are supplied with the device.
Figure 79 on page 169 shows the RJ-45 connector of the Ethernet cable.

DB-9 male adapter. You must provide the USB to DB-9 male adapter.
To connect the device to a management console (see
Figure 81 on page 170):
