Management Ports
Besides the 10 Gigabit and 40 Gigabit switch ports, the S4820T provides several ports for management
and storage.
Accessing the RJ-45 Console Port (RS-232)
NOTE: Before starting this procedure, be sure that your PC has a 9-pin serial port and that you have a
terminal emulation program already installed and running on the PC.
NOTE: If your PC’s serial port cannot accept a female DB-9 connector, you need to acquire a DB-9 male-to-
male adaptor.
The RS-232/RJ-45 console port is located (and labeled) on the PSU-side of the S4820T chassis (see
Figure 7-1 ).
