Serial Port Specifications
The Serial port can be used to connect to a computer workstation to configure the
switch IP address without connecting to the fabric. The Serial port’s parameters
are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
The port requires a straight serial cable with a female 9-pin subminiature-D
connector. Only pins 2, 3, and 5 are supported; if pin 7 is used, the signal must
always be driven high, using the pinouts listed in Table 9.
Note: For dust and ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection, a cover is provided for the
serial port and should be kept on the port whenever the serial port is not in use.
