Cisco UCS 6248 UP User Manual

Connecting to the Console Port
You can connect the console port to a modem. If you do not connect it to a modem, connect it either before
powering on the system or after the system has completed the boot process.
Caution
The console port on a Cisco UCS fabric interconnect provides an RS232 serial connection over an RJ-45
interface that can be used to perform initial setup on a newly installed system that does not as yet have other
connectivity options, perform software recovery tasks when other connectivity is unavailable, monitor network
statistics and errors, configure SNMP agent parameters, or download software updates. Any device connected
to this port must be capable of asynchronous transmission.
The front connector ports are in a 2x2 stacked RJ-45 jack. The figure below shows a close-up view of the
console, management, and cross-connect ports on the Cisco UCS 6248.
