Getting Started

This chapter helps you get started using the S5000.

Accessing Ports

The S5000 has two management ports available for system access — a console port and a universal serial

bus (USB)-B port.

The USB-B port acts the same as the console port. The terminal settings are the same for both access

ports.

Accessing the RJ-45/RS-232 Console Port

The RS-232/RJ-45 console port is labeled on the lower left-hand side of the S5000 system as you face

the Utility side of the chassis.

NOTE: Before starting this procedure, be sure that you have a terminal emulation program already

installed on your PC.

Figure 2. RS-232/RJ-45 Console Port

To access the console port, follow these steps.

1. Install an RJ-45 copper cable into the console port. Use a rollover (crossover) cable to connect the

S5000 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:

• 9600 baud rate

• No parity

• 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit
