FIGURE 3-1 Patch Panel Connection Between a Terminal Server and a Sun Fire V440
Server
If the pinouts for the serial management port do not correspond with the pinouts for
the RJ-45 ports on the terminal server, you need to make a crossover cable that takes
each pin on the Sun Fire V440 server serial management port to the corresponding
pin in the terminal server’s serial port.
TABLE 3-1 shows the crossovers that the cable must perform.
