1. Setting Up Access to the CLI
QNAP SAS JBOD enclosures come with a command-line interface (CLI) that you can use to configure the
enclosures from a terminal emulator on a Windows, macOS, or Linux computer.
This task requires a console cable and a USB adapter. The console cable came with your SAS JBOD, but
the USB adpater is a separate purchase. Ensure that a USB connector on the adapter matches a USB port
on your computer.

For details on the location of the 3.5 mm line-out jack, see the Rear Panel in your SAS JBOD User

Locate an open USB port on your computer and plug in the USB connector from the adapter.
