Statement 49
Caution
Read the safety warnings in the
Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco ASA 5500
Series
and follow proper safety procedures when performing these steps.
To connect cables to the ports perform the following steps:
Step 1
Place the chassis on a flat, stable surface, or in a rack (if you are rack-mounting it.)
Step 2
Before connecting a computer or terminal to the ports, check to determine the baud rate of the serial port. The
baud rate must match the default baud rate (9600 baud) of the Console port of the adaptive security appliance.
Set up the terminal as follows: 9600 baud (default), 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits, and Flow Control
(FC) = Hardware.
Step 3
Connect the cables to the ports.
