Figure A-5 shows and Table A-15 lists the DB-9 serial connector pin assignments. This
connector is used for the console port of the base compute, XG2N, CPU expansion,
CMPX, and router modules, and the console and modem ports of the optional L2
controller.
Caution: Although the image sync subsystem also uses DB9 connectors, these
connectors, whether on the ImageSync card or on the XG2N bricks, are not serial ports.
Connecting a serial device to these connectors may cause damage to both the ImageSync
devices and the serial devices.
