Chapter 1 Overview
Rear-Panel Description
Console Port
You can connect a switch to a PC through the console port by using a RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable.
If you want to connect a switch to a terminal, you need to provide an RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE
adapter. You can order a kit (part number ACS-DSBUASYN=) with that adapter from Cisco.
For console-port and adapter-pinout information, see the “Cable and Adapter Specifications” section on
page B-5.
Security Slots
The switches have security slots in the left and right side panels. You can install an optional cable lock,
such as the type that is used to secure a laptop computer, to secure either or both sides of the switch.
Figure 1-5 shows the slot on a left-side panel.
