Cisco Application Deployment Engine (ADE) 2130 and 2140 Series Appliance Hardware Installation Guide

Chapter 1 Introducing the Cisco Application Deployment Engine 2130 and 2140 Series Appliance
Hardware Features
On the rear-panel serial (console) port, Pin 7 can be configured with a jumper located on the appliance
motherboard. This jumper allows you to set Pin 7 to either Data Set Ready (DSR) or Data Carrier Detect
(DCD) as might be required when using a serial port concentrator. The default jumper configuration
selects the DSR signal, which conforms to the Cisco serial port standard.
Table 1-12 on page 1-14 shows the rear-panel serial (console) port pinout description.
Serial (Console) Port Cables
Use the thin, flat, RJ-45-to-RJ-45 rollover cable and the RJ-45-to-DB-9 female DTE adapter (labeled
TERMINAL) to connect the console port to an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal-emulation
software. Table 1-13 lists the pinouts for the asynchronous serial console port, the RJ-45-to-RJ-45
rollover cable, and the RJ-45-to-DB-9 female DTE adapter.
