Connecting the Supervisor Engine
To connect a terminal using a Catalyst 5000 family Supervisor Engine III console cable, place the
console port mode switch in the out position. Connect to the port using the Supervisor Engine III cable
and the appropriate adapter for the terminal connection.
Check the terminal documentation to determine the baud rate. The baud rate of the terminal must match
the default baud rate (9600 baud) of the console port. Set up the terminal as follows:
•

Connecting to the Uplink Ports

This section describes how to connect to the supervisor engine uplink ports.
Note In a redundant configuration with two supervisor engines, the uplink ports on the redundant (standby)
supervisor engine are active and can be used for normal traffic like any other ports in the chassis.
Warning Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments.
To connect to the supervisor engine uplink ports, perform these steps:
Remove the plugs from the Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) optical bores; store them for future use.
Step 1
Remove the plugs from the SC connector (see
Step 2
Insert the connector into the GBIC.

When you plug the SC connector into the GBIC, make sure that both the transmit (Tx) and
receive (Rx) fiber-optic cables are fully inserted into the SC connector.
If you are using the LX/LH GBIC with MMF, you need to install a patch cord between the GBIC
and the MMF cable. See the
