Here's the pinout and baud settings.   Make sure that flowcontrol is off on the serial port.  This info can be found on the Equallogic support website.  Solution Title  Serial Console Cable, Identification for Type I, II Controllers, Pinouts for RJ-45 connector Solution Details  Type-1: FRU PN=95-0444. Cable "dongle" will have a white ID tag with 51-0003-02 marked on it. It is 10 inches long, black, with silver DB-9(M) and a micro DB-9 on the other end. You can order the dongle as a Molex part number 83421-9052, by looking for it on google. You will also need a Null modem cable to go with it if you don't have one, easy to find, even most Radio Shack's have them. Type-2: FRU PN 95-0517. Cable will have a white ID tag with 51-0008 marked on it. It is 10 feet long, black with a DB-9(F) and the RJ-45 on the other end Here is the pinout for the RJ-45 serial connector used on the EqualLogic Type-2 (SATA 2 Control Module): 1 - DTR (out) 2 - CTS (in) 3 - Chassis Gnd 4 - RxD (in) 5 - TxD (out) 6 - Sig Gnd 7 - RTS (out) 8 - DSR (in) In current firmware versions we do not purposefully set, or respond to, any of the control signals (DTR, CTS, RTS, DSR), so you should either configure the device you are connecting so that it ignores them, or provide local loopbacks as needed. The serial settings are: 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
Hi Everyone, I have an Equallogic storage array to use for testing that I believe is a ps100e, with two blue sata controllers on the back that have RJ45 serial connections. Nothing I've used so far has gotten any kind of traffic from them, so can anyone help me out with a pinout of the console cable that was included with the devices? (All I got was the machine itself). I've seen a couple of sketchy places online to buy them, but I'm in a bit of a hurry and don't have much of a budget, so I was hoping to make one if they're non-standard.   Thanks!
