Making Serial Cable Connections
Serial communication enables the terminal emulation application on your host PC
or server to access the VTrak’s Command Line Interface (CLI) to set up a
network connection. The VTrak package includes one RJ11-to-DB9 serial data
cable for each controller.
Figure 22. UPS and Serial connectors
To set up a serial cable connection:
1. Attach the RJ11 end of the serial data cable to the RJ11 serial connector on
one of the RAID controllers.
2. Attach the DB9 end of the serial data cable to a serial port on the host PC or
server.
Optional UPS Serial Connection
If your deployment plan calls for one or more UPS units and management via
serial communication, connect a UPS control cable to the Mini-D9 UPS
connector on the RAID controller.
UPS control cables are available from PROMISE Technology at

To complete the UPS management setup, see “Making UPS Settings” on page
