Replacing the SRX5800 Services Gateway Console or Auxiliary Cable
To use a system console to configure and manage the Routing Engine, connect it to the CONSOLE port
on the Routing Engine. To use a laptop, modem, or other auxiliary device, connect it to the AUX port on
the Routing Engine. Both ports accept a cable with an RJ-45 connector. One RJ-45/DB-9 cable is provided
with the services gateway. If you want to connect a device to both ports, you must supply another cable.
Before you begin to replace the console or auxiliary Cable:
•
Ensure you understand how to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. See “Prevention of
Electrostatic Discharge Damage” on page 505 .
Ensure that you have the following available:
•
ESD grounding strap
To replace a cable connected to a management console or auxiliary device:
1. Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other
end of the strap to the ESD point on the chassis.
2. Press the tab on the connector and pull the connector straight out of the port.
3. Disconnect the cable from the console or auxiliary device.
4. Plug the RJ-45 end of the replacement serial cable into the CONSOLE or AUX port.
Figure 152 on page 392 shows the external device ports on the Routing Engine.
5. Plug the female DB-9 end into the console or auxiliary device's serial port.
