Description

Not used.
Use this port to connect a management computer
to the appliance using a 9-pin serial cable and
terminal emulation software.
The console connection provides access to
appliance boot messages, the Maintenance
Recovery Tool (MRT), and the command line
interface (CLI).
If your management computer does not
have a serial port, use a USB-to-serial
converter.
Use the following settings to configure your
terminal emulation software to connect to the
console port:
• Data rate: 9600
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None
Use the UID feature to help you locate the
appliance when you move from the back to the
front of the equipment rack where the appliance
is installed. When you push the UID button to
enable the UID feature, both the front-panel
System information LED and the back-panel UID
LED illuminate bright blue to help you locate the
appliance when you move between opposite sides
of the equipment rack. The back-panel UID LED is
located to the right of the UID button. Push the UID
button again to deactivate these LEDs.
