Configuring the RJ-45 serial port

The RJ-45 serial port connector can be configured to support either a Data Set Ready (DSR), or a Data Carrier Detect (DCD) signal. The default configuration for your server supports DSR signals. To change the configuration from DSR to DCD signal support, a jumper (J7A1) must be changed on the system board.

To change the RJ-45 serial port configuration to DCD signal support:
