Note:
The serial ports on PCs do not support hot swapping. Therefore, do not insert or
remove a serial interface cable from a PC that is connected to a switch with power. In
connecting a PC to the switch, first connect the DB-9 connector of the console cable to
the PC and then the RJ45 connector to the switch. In disconnecting them, remove the
RJ-45 connector prior to the DB-9 connector.
