5.1.2 Connecting the Console Cable
Follow these steps to connect the console cable:
1) Connect the DB-9 female connector of the console cable to the serial port of the
PC.
2) Connect the RJ-45 connector of the console cable to the console port of the
switch.
5.1.3 Setting Terminal Parameters
Parameter requirements:
z Bits per second: 9600
z Data bits: 8
z Parity check: None.
z Stop bits: 1.
z Flow control: None.
z Terminal emulation: VT100.
The following illustrates how to set terminal parameters on the PC running Windows XP
HyperTerminal.
Step 1: Start the PC and run the terminal emulator.

Step 2: Set the parameters for Windows XP HyperTerminal as follows:
z Bits per second: 9600
z Data bits: 8.
z Parity check: None
z Stop bits: 1
z Flow control: None
z Terminal emulation: VT100
The parameter setting procedure is as follows:
1) Select Start > Programs/All Programs > Accessories > Communications >
HyperTerminal to enter the HyperTerminal window to establish a new connection
and the system displays the Connection Description dialog box.

5.2 Power-on Startup
5.2.1 Check before Power-on
Before powering on the switch, make sure that:
z The switch is mounted steadily.
z All boards are correctly installed.
z All communication cables, fibers, power cables, and grounding cables are
correctly connected.
z The power outlet voltage is the same as the one indicated on the switch label.
z The console cable is correctly connected, the PC or terminal for configuration is
started, and the terminal parameter settings are completed.

Caution:
Before powering on the switch, locate the position of the power switch for the
equipment room where you will operate so that you can switch off the power supply
promptly in case of any accident
5.2.2 Power-on
z Turn on the power to the system.
z Turn on the power switch on the system.
5.2.3 Check after Power-on (Recommended)
After powering on the switch, check that:
z The cooling system works normally. You can hear the fans rotate and feel airflows
out of the vent.
z The system LEDs on the SRPU work normally.
After that, make corresponding configurations.
5.2.4 Startup Process
As the switch is started, the following information will be output on the configuration
terminal:
