To perform initial configuration of the system:
Step 1. Connect a host PC to the Console RJ45 ( ) port of the system, using the supplied har-
ness cable (DB9 to RJ45). Make sure to connect to the Console RJ45 port and not to the
(Ethernet) MGT (
) port.
Step 2. Configure a serial terminal program (for example, HyperTerminal, minicom, or Tera Term)
on your host PC with the settings described in
Table 11. Once you perform that, you should
get the CLI prompt of the system.
Step 3.Login as admin and use admin as password. On the first login, the Onyx (MLNX-
OS) configuration wizard will start.
