Fibre Channel Port LEDS
RS232 Connector and cables
The processor has its own dedicated serial connections. The serial connections are intended for
application development, test and debug purposes. The Rx and Tx signals from each UART are
available in the front panel connector. The pinout of this connector depends on the model of your
M5000.
Different converter cables exist for connecting standard 9-pin D-SUB cables to the non-standard
M5000 Mini-DIN connector:
• 601-M5x10-PC-RS232 cable has a single 9-pin D-SUB that connects to the #1 UART. This
cable is crossed and is the standard cable shipped with standard models.
• 601-M5x10-2xRS232 split cable has two 9-pin D-SUBs. The D-SUB on the short cable end
connects to the first serial port on the #1 UART. The D-SUB on the long cable end connects to
the second serial port on the #2 UART. Available on request.
• 601-M5x10-RS232/RS422 split cable has two 9-pin D-SUBs. One connects to the #1UART.
The other connects to the #2UART with RS422 signalling (housing is colored red). This cable is
provided with models M5x10(RP)-xxx4.
