with the system software interfaces or to run diagnostics from a DVD-RAM using an external device,
you will need to do the following:
• Connect a terminal (or PC) to the serial port FS1 (on the front of the unit) using a null-modem
cable (RJ45 to 9 pin Serial cable which is provided by IBM)
Your PC may need to use an emulator, such as HyperTerminal, often supplied with Windows family
operating systems. Set the emulation mode to vt100 and use the following communication settings:
• 19200 baud
• 8 bit
• 1 stop bit
