You can use an external serial port connector and null modem cable to setup the
MegaRAC G3 to perform Serial over LAN operations. To do this, you must have an
external 9-pin serial port connector and cable plugged into the MegaRAC G3 card’s
serial port connector at JP2. Once the external 9-pin serial port connector is installed and
secured to the chassis, attach the null modem cable as illustrated below:
