Step 7
If you disconnected the console terminal to remove the RSP2, or if you are installing a new RSP2,
connect the console terminal to the console port. (See the
“Connecting the Console Terminal” section
on page 18
.)
Step 8
Ensure that a console terminal is connected (see the
“Connecting the Console Terminal” section on
page 18
) and that it is turned on.
Step 9
Turn the system power back on, and proceed to the
“Restarting the System” section on page 20
to check
the installation.
This completes the procedure for replacing the RSP2.
Connecting the Console Terminal
The system console port on the RSP2 is a DCE DB-25 receptacle for connecting a console terminal,
which you need to configure in order to communicate with your system. The console port is located on
the RSP2 to the right of the auxiliary port, as shown in
Figure 5
, and is labeled Console.
Before connecting the console port, check the documentation for your terminal to determine the baud
rate of the terminal you are using. The baud rate of the terminal must match the default baud rate (9600
baud). Set up the terminal as follows: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 2 stop bits (9600,8N2).
Use the console cable provided to connect the terminal to the console port on the RSP2, and then follow
the steps in the
“Restarting the System” section on page 20
.

Console and Auxiliary Port Connections
Note
The console and auxiliary ports are asynchronous serial ports; any devices connected to these ports must
be capable of asynchronous transmission. (Asynchronous is the most common type of serial device; for
example, most modems are asynchronous devices.)
