1. Plug the DB-9 female connector of the console cable in the serial port of the PC.
2. Plug the RJ-45 connector of the console cable in the console port of the blade switch.
IMPORTANT:
• Identify the mark on the console port and make sure that you are connecting to the correct port.
• Make sure a DB-9 female connector is available on the terminal. If not, prepare a converter.
