NOTE: If you are configuring a stack of switches, serial console access to the stack manager is
available from any serial port using the local CLI. Only one serial console session at a time is
supported.
1. Install an RJ-45 copper cable into the console port. To connect the console port to a terminal server,
use a rollover cable.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the DTE terminal server.
3. Set the default terminal settings as follows.
• 9600 baud rate.
• No parity.
• Eight data bits.
• One stop bit.
• No flow control.
Access the Console Port with a DB-9 Adapter
If the DTE has a DB-9 interface, you can connect to the console using an RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter along
with the RJ-45 rollover cable.
The following table lists the pin assignments.

Default Configuration
A version of Dell Networking OS is pre-loaded onto the system; however, the system is not configured
when you power up for the first time (except for the default host name, which is
Dell).
You must configure the system using the CLI.
