connecting to the console or Ethernet ports on the back of the chassis. Each method is described

Connecting the Console Cable
Use the serial console cable to connect a computer to the Memory Array for configuration

To connect the console cable to the Memory Array and a computer:
1. Connect one end of the console cable to a serial console port A on the rear of the Memory
Array.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a computer.
3. When you are ready to connect to the CLI, launch a terminal window, and then use the
following console settings:
— Bits per second: 115200
— Data bits: 8
— Parity: None
— Stop bits: 1
See System Setup and Configuration on page 31 for more information.
