The USB-B ports act exactly as the console port. The terminal settings are the same. When the USB-B drive is connected, the S60 system sends all messages to it. The USB-B connector port is labeled on the left of the management ports on the rear of the S60 system. Figure 6-2. S60 USB-B Port Connector USB-B Port When you connect both the console port and the USB-B port, the S60 system defaults to the USB-B port. If the USB-B port is connected, the console connection is considered inactive. NOTE: Before starting this procedure, be sure you have a terminal emulation program already installed on your PC. You will also require the appropriate drivers for the USB device in use. For assistance, contact Dell Force10 Technical Support. 36 | Access the Console Ports
