Step 1: Plug the DB-9 (female) connector of the console cable to the serial port of the
PC where the switch is to be configured.
Step 2: Connect the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port of the
switch.

Read the mark for the port to be connected carefully to make sure it is the right port.
