Cables and Adapters Provided

The Cisco MDS 9250i switch accessory kit includes the following items:

• RJ-45 rollover cable
• RJ-45/DSUB F/F adapter—RJ-45 to DB-25 female DTE adapter (labeled “Terminal”)
• RJ-45/DSUB R/P adapter—RJ-45 to DB-25 male DCE adapter (labeled “Modem”)

Note Additional cables and adapters can be ordered from your customer service representative.

Note If you purchased Cisco support through a Cisco reseller, contact the reseller directly. If you purchased support directly from Cisco Systems, contact Cisco Technical Support at this URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/tsd_cisco_worldwide_contacts.html

Console Port

The console port is an asynchronous RS-232 serial port with an RJ-45 connector. You can use the RJ-45 rollover cable and the RJ-45/DSUB F/F adapter or the RJ-45F PC terminal adapter to connect the console port to a computer running terminal emulation software.

MGMT 10/100/1000 Ethernet Port

The MGMT 10/100/1000 Ethernet port is an Ethernet port with an RJ-45 connector. You can use a modular, RJ-45, straight-through UTP cable to connect the management port to an external hub, switch, or router (see Figure 1-1).

Figure 1-1 RJ-45 Interface Cable Connector

Table 1-3 lists the connector pinouts and signal names for a 10/100/1000BASE-T management port (MDI) cable.

Note The RJ-45 interface only uses pins 1, 2, 3, and 6.

Figure 1-2 shows a schematic of the 10/100/1000BASE-T cable required to connect the management port to a switch or hub (not provided with the switch).

Supported Power Cords and Plugs

Each power supply has a separate power cord. Standard power cords or jumper power cords are available for connection to a power distribution unit having IEC 60320 C19 outlet receptacles.

Power Cords

The standard power cords have an IEC C15 connector on the end that plugs into the switch. The optional jumper power cords have an IEC C15 connector on the end that plugs into the switch, and an IEC C14 connector on the end that plugs into an IEC C15 outlet receptacle.

---

Note Only the regular power cords or jumper power cords provided with the switch are supported.

---

Note If you do not order the optional power cord with the system, you are responsible for selecting the appropriate power cord for the product. Using a non-compatible power cord with this product may result in electrical safety hazard. Orders delivered to Argentina, Brazil, and Japan must have the appropriate power cord ordered with the system.
