Enable administrative communication
For HA pairs, administrative communication must be enabled on both nodes.
The administrative interfaces are located on the management module on the rear of
the chassis. These interfaces are for management network traffic only. Do not use
these interfaces for data traffic.
1. Connect an administrative console to the serial port on the back panel of the
system.

Note
You must have 115200 baud rate for the system to work correctly; 9600 baud rate
does not work.
Launch a terminal emulation program from your computer and configure the
following communication settings:
