Figure3-1 Connecting the switch to a configuration terminal

As shown in Table3-1, three types of console cables can be used for connecting the switch to a

configuration terminal. As a best practice, use a serial console cable for connection. The switch is not

provided with a serial console cable or a micro USB console cable. Prepare an H3C console cable or

prepare a micro USB console cable yourself.

Connecting a DB9-to-RJ45 console cable

CAUTION:

Follow these

guidelines when you connect a DB9-to-RJ45 console cable:

•

Identify the mark on the serial console port and make sure you are connecting to the correct port.

•

The serial ports on PCs do not support hot swapping. To connect a PC to an operating switch,

first connect the PC end. To disconnect a PC from an operating switch, first disconnect the switch

end.

A DB9-to-RJ45 serial console cable is an 8-core shielded cable, with a crimped RJ-45 connector at

one end for connecting to the serial console port of the switch, and a DB-9 female connector at the

other end for connecting to the serial port on a configuration terminal.
