Unpacking and Installing the Controller
Connecting the Controller's Console Port
Before you can configure the controller for basic operations, you need to connect it to a PC that uses a
VT-100 terminal emulator (such as HyperTerminal, ProComm, Minicom, or Tip).
Note You can use either the RJ-45 console port or the USB console port (see
The first time that you connect a Windows PC to the USB console port, you are prompted to install the
Note
USB console driver. Follow the installation prompts to install the driver. The USB console driver maps
to a COM port on your PC; you then need to map the terminal emulator application to the COM port.

Follow these steps to connect the PC to the controller's console port:
Step 1 If you use the RJ-45 console port, plug the RJ-45 connector on a null-modem serial cable into the
controller's RJ-45 console port and the other end of the cable into the PC's serial port.
If you use the USB console port, plug the 5-pin mini Type B connector into the controller's USB console
port and the other end of the cable into the PC's USB Type A port.
Start the PC's terminal emulation program.

Running the Bootup Script and Power-On Self Test
When you plug the controller into an AC power source, the bootup script initializes the system, verifies
the hardware configuration, loads its microcode into memory, verifies its operating system software
load, and initializes itself with its stored configurations. Before performing this test, you should connect
your PC to the controller's CLI console as described in the
section on page
(POST).
Step 1 Plug an AC power cord into the back of the controller and connect the other end to a grounded 100 to
240 VAC, 50/60 Hz electrical outlet.
Turn on the power supply.
Step 2
Step 3 Observe the bootup on the CLI screen.
