SN9108CO / SN9116CO Installation
To set up your SN9108CO / SN9116CO installation, refer to the Installation
Diagram on page 31. The numbers in the diagram correspond to the numbers
of the instruction steps, below:
1. Use a grounding wire to ground the unit by connecting one end of the wire
to the Serial Console Server’s grounding terminal (located on the back
panel), and the other end of the wire to a suitable grounded object.
Note:
Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to
the unit from surges or static electricity.
2. For each server or serial device with a DB-9 connector, connect a Cisco
Console Cable or a Cat 5e cable with RJ-45-to-DB-9(F) adapter between
its serial port and any available RJ-45 port on the Serial Console Server’s
rear panel.
Note: Refer to
DB-9/DB-25 Interface
on page 161 for pin assignments.
3. Connect a Cat 5e cable between a Cisco Network Switch (or any
compatible network switch) and any available RJ-45 port on the Serial
Console Server’s rear panel.
Note: For a compatible network switch, please make sure the RJ-45 port
pin definition of the target device matches the Serial Console Server.
4. Connect the Serial Console Server to the network by connecting the LAN
port to the network with Cat 5e cables.
5. (Optional) If you choose to install a serial modem for OOB operation,
connect a Cisco Console Cable to a null modem adapter. Plug the DB-9
connector into the Modem and the RJ-45 connector into any available RJ-
45 port on the Serial Console Server’s front panel.
6. For AC models: Use the AC power cord provided with this package to
connect the SN9108CO/SN9116CO's Power Socket to an AC power
source.
7. Turn on the power switch.
