Installing the Software 39
Accessing the Console with a DB-25 Adapter
You can connect to the console using an RJ-45 to RJ-45 rollover cable and RJ-
45 to DB-25 female DTE adapter.
E1200i ExaScale Universal Serial Bus Ports
There are 2 USB ports, labeled A and B. The A port is a host port and allows a
user to install a flash memory stick for use as external flash. The B port is a
device port and allows a user to hook up an external PC for console access.
Refer to the E1200i ExaScale Installation Guide for complete information
regarding these ports.
Default Configuration
A version of FTOS is pre-loaded onto the chassis, however the system is not
configured when you power up for the first time (except for the default host
name, which is Force10). You must configure the system using the CLI.
