MicroUSB-B console port access

The MicroUSB-B console port is on the PSU side of the switch.

NOTE: The S5048F-ON switch uses the Silicon Labs CP2109 USB-B chip. To find the correct USB-B universal

asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) driver, see https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/

software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers.

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 microUSB-B port, it becomes the primary connection and, while connected, all messages are sent to the

microUSB-B port.

NOTE: Before starting this procedure, be sure that you have a terminal emulation program already installed on your PC.

Install the appropriate drivers to support the microUSB-B port. For assistance or to download the drivers, contact

www.dell.com/support.

1. Power on the PC.

2. Connect the USB-A end of cable into an available USB port on the PC.

3. Connect the microUSB-B end of cable into the microUSB-B console port on the switch.

4. Power on the switch.

5. Install the necessary USB device drivers.

To download the drivers, go to www.dell.com/support. For assistance, contact Dell EMC Technical Support.

6. Open your terminal software emulation program to access the switch.

7. Confirm that the terminal settings on your terminal software emulation program are as follows:

• 115200 baud rate

• No parity

• 8 data bits

• 1 stop bit

• No flow control

USB storage mount

USB storage does not automatically mount. USB storage supports the FAT file system. To use USB storage, first mount the device using

the following steps:

1. Create a mount directory for the USB storage.

ONIE:/ # mkdir /mnt/usb

2. View the fixed disks using the fdisk command.

ONIE:/mnt # fdisk -l

For internal storage:

Disk /dev/sda: 15.8 GB, 15829303296 bytes

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1924 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
