NOTE:
When connecting the RJ45 console to the patch panel or terminal server using Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables, the
maximum cable length is 100m. However, if the Ethernet cable is disconnected from the patch panel or terminal server but
connected to the RJ45 console, the maximum cable length is 6m. If the cable is longer than 6m when disconnected from the
panel or server, your switch may not boot.
NOTE:
Before starting this procedure, be sure that your PC has a 9-pin serial port and you have a terminal emulation program
already installed and running on the PC.
NOTE:
If your PC’s serial port cannot accept a female DB-9 connector, use a DB-9 male-to-male adaptor.
