If your workstation or notebook computer does not have a DB9 serial connector, you can use a DB9-to-USB
converter cable to connect the PDU to a workstation or notebook computer.
To connect the PDU to a workstation or notebook computer, using a DB9-to-USB converter cable, complete
the following steps:
1. Obtain a DB-9-to-USB converter cable (must be purchased separately).
2. On the workstation or notebook computer that you are connecting to the PDU, install the device drivers
for the DB-9-to-USB converter cable, by using the instructions that come with the converter cable.
3. Connect the DB9-to-RJ-45 cable that comes with the PDU to the RJ-45 console connector on the PDU,
as shown in the previous illustration.
4. Connect the DB9 connector end of the converter cable to the cable that you connected to the PDU in
step 3 on page 23.
