Accessing the RJ-45 Console Port with a
DB-9 Adapter
You can connect to the console using an RJ-45 to RJ-45 rollover cable and
an RJ-45 to DB-9 female DTE adapter to a terminal server (for example, a
PC).
The pin assignments between the console and a DTE terminal server are as
follows:

not configured when you power up for the first time (except for the default
host name, which is Dell).
Configure the system using the CLI.
