At this point, the filer, PowerVault 700N storage system, and tape backup device are connected and the filer is connected to the network.

You are ready to power on the system. Before you do so, it is a good idea to establish a terminal connection to the filer so that you can observe the system responses on the terminal screen when the system is started. You also need a terminal to set up the filer after you start it.

You can establish a connection to the filer from an ASCII terminal, serial concentrator, or communications server.

This section describes how to connect an ASCII terminal (also referred to as an ANSI terminal) to the filer and how to verify the filer and PowerVault 700N storage system installations.

ADB-9–to–DB-9 straight-through serial cable for an ASCII terminal connection is pro- vided with your filer. If this cable is not compatible with your terminal connector, use a null modem cable.

The filer’s DB-9 serial port supports only DTE devices, not DCE devices such as modems. Most terminals are wired as DTE devices.

NOTE: To use a serial concentrator or communications server, refer to the documenta- tion for those devices.

The following table lists the pin settings for the DB-9 CONSOLE port.
