Accessing the Console Port
To access the console port, follow these steps:
For the console port pinout, refer to Accessing the RJ-45 Console Port with a DB-9 Adapter.
1. Install an RJ-45 copper cable into the console port. Use a rollover (crossover) cable to connect the console port to a
terminal server.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the DTE terminal server.
3. Terminal settings on the console port cannot be changed in the software and are set as follows:
● 115200 baud rate
●
No parity
● 8 data bits
● 1 stop bit
● No flow control
Pin Assignments
You can connect to the console using a RJ-45 to RJ-45 rollover cable and a RJ-45 to DB-9 female DTE adapter to a terminal
server (for example, a PC).
The pin assignments between the console and a DTE terminal server are as follows:

Micro USB-B Access
The Micro USB type B console port is on the I/O side.
The terminal settings are the same for the serial console port and the RS-232/RJ-45 console port:
● 115200 baud rate
● No parity
● 8 data bits
● 1 stop bit
● No flow control
When you connect the micro USB-B port, it becomes the primary connection and, while connected, all messages are sent to the
micro USB-B port.
NOTE:
Before starting this procedure, be sure that you have a terminal emulation program already installed on your PC.
You need to install the appropriate drivers to support the micro USB-B port. For assistance, contact https://www.dell.com/
support to download the drivers.
To access the micro USB-B console port, follow these steps.
