4.1.2 Connect a USB Cable
Next, connect to the console port using the cable that has a USB Micro-B (5-pin) connector on one end and a USB
Type A plug on the other end.
Gently push the USB Micro-B (5-pin) plug end into the console port on the appliance and connect the USB Type A
plug into an available USB port on the workstation.
Tip: Be certain to gently push in the USB Micro-B (5-pin) connector on the device side completely. With most cables
there will be a tangible “click”, “snap”, or similar indication when the cable is fully engaged.
4.1.3 Apply Power to the Device
On some hardware, the USB serial console port may not be detected by the client operating system until the device is
plugged into a power source.
If the client OS does not detect the USB serial console port, connect the power cord to the device to allow it to start
booting.
If the USB serial console port appears without power applied to the device, then the best practice is to wait until the
terminal is open and connected to the serial console before powering on the device. That way the client can view the
entire boot output.
4.1.4 Locate the Console Port Device
The appropriate console port device that the workstation assigned as the serial port must be located before attempting
to connect to the console.
Note: Even if the serial port was assigned in the BIOS, the workstation OS may remap it to a different COM Port.
Windows
To locate the device name on Windows, open Device Manager and expand the section for Ports (COM & LPT).
Look for an entry with a title such as Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge. If there is a label in the name that
contains “COMX” where X is a decimal digit (e.g. COM3), that value is what would be used as the port in the terminal
program.
