3.2 Installing the Serial Converter
Important: The Serial Converter module must not be installed in
an area where the ambient atmosphere contains
volatile or corrosive gas, vapors, or dust. If the module
is not going to be installed for a period of time, it must
be stored in area where it will not be exposed to a
corrosive atmosphere.
Use the following procedure to install the Serial Converter.
Step 1. Connect the Serial Converter to the drive using the
MDCBL-RJ45 cable. See figure 3.2.
Step 2. Connect the Serial Converter to the computer serial port
using the RECBL-SFC cable. See figure 3.3.
Step 3. Verify that power is applied to the host. The Serial Converter
receives power from the host. Therefore, the host must be
powered before the Serial Converter will operate.
The diamond LED on the Serial Converter flashes green to indicate
that the Serial Converter is properly installed and receiving power. If
it is not green, refer to chapter 5, Troubleshooting.
