Installing the Controller
Step 4
Locate the chassis ground connector on the side of your chassis.
Step 5
Insert the two screws through the holes in the grounding lug.
Step 6
Use the Number 2 Philips screwdriver to carefully tighten the screws until the grounding lug is held firmly to the chassis.
Do not over tighten the screws.
Step 7
Connect the opposite end of the grounding wire to the appropriate grounding point at your site to ensure an adequate
chassis ground.
Connecting Cables
Keep the following guidelines in mind when connecting any external cable to the controller:
• To reduce the chance of interference, avoid crossing high-power lines with any interface cables.
• Verify all the cabling limitations (particularly distance) before powering on the system.
Connecting the Console Port Cable
The controller uses RJ-45 port for console port to attach a console terminal. The controller has an asynchronous
serial (EIA/TIA-232) RJ-45 console port labeled CON on its front panel. You can connect this port to most
types of video terminals with a console cable kit that is included with your controller.
The crossover cable reverses pin connections from one end to the other. In other words, it connects pin 1 (at
one end) to pin 8 (at the other end), pin 2 to pin 7, pin 3 to pin 6, and so on. You can identify a crossover cable
by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Hold the cable ends in your hand, side-by-side, with the
tabs at the back. Ensure that the wire connected to the outside (left) pin of the left plug (pin 1) is the same
color as the wire connected to the outside (right) pin of the right plug (pin 8).
The console port is an asynchronous serial port; devices connected to this port must be capable of asynchronous
transmission.
Procedure for Connecting the Console Port Cable
Before you begin
Before connecting to the console interface on the controller using a terminal or PC, perform the following
steps:
Step 1
Before connecting a terminal to the console port, configure the terminal to match the chassis console port as follows:
9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bits (9600 8N1).
Step 2
Connect one end of the RJ-45 cable to the serial RJ-45 console port (CON) on the controller. Connect the RJ-45 port to
the terminal equipment.
Note
For information about how to change the default settings to meet the requirements of your terminal or host,
see the Cisco IOS Terminal Services Configuration Guide.
Step 3
After you establish normal controller operation, you can disconnect the terminal. Follow the same procedure to connect
a video terminal to the console port.
