Using a Dongle Cable for Testing

Your chassis ships with a dongle cable. The dongle enables you to plug devices directly into the front of the server module for testing.

Caution – The dongle cable should be used only for configuration and service purposes. It should be disconnected from the server module when the configuration or servicing operation is completed.

If you have a dongle cable connected to a server module, it must be removed before closing the door of a rack cabinet. The dongle cable may be damaged if it is not removed before the cabinet door is closed.

To Use a Dongle Cable for Testing

1.Insert the dongle cable into the universal connector port (UCP) on the server module front panel. See FIGURE 1-3.

2.Connect device to the dongle cable connections, as appropriate.
