Hi, The console cable for Force10 is different than the ones for Powerconnect, and the pinouts on the cables are not the same. [URL]
I have three Force 10 S25s that we purchased from Dell. They were recertified and out of warranty (I'm don't know id they even came with a warranty) Anyway I cannot connect with any of them via the console. Nor do they get link lights when connected to an Intel X540-T2. I've tried different servers in case I blew the serial ports. I've made a straight through cable and connected with to an RJ45 to serial adapter (This works with a Dell PowerConnect switch) The serial connection is 9600/8/1. I'm not sure what else to try. Three bad switches seem odd (Although we have had problems with other devices on this shipment from Dell.)  Anything I've missed?
Force10 S25 Issues, three bad ones?
