The part numbers for the serial cables are listed below or you can make them with the pin outs provided.
The 498.93-1 processor uses a serial cable that has a 9 pin D connector on the PC Com 1 end and a 25 pin D
connector on the processor side. The pin outs are as follows:
9 Pin Connector
25 Pin Connector
(498.93)
(PC)
Pin 2 ------------------------ Pin 2
Pin 3 ------------------------ Pin 3
Pin 5 ------------------------ Pin 7
The 498.95-1 processor uses a serial cable (part # 560776-01) that has a 9 pin D connector on the PC Com 1 and
a 9 pin D connector on the processor side. The pin outs are as follows:
9 Pin Connector
9 pin Connector
(489.95)
(PC)
Pin 2 ------------------------ Pin 3
Pin 3 ------------------------ Pin 2
Pin 5 ------------------------ Pin 5
The 498.96-X processors uses a serial cable (part # 560777-01) that has a 9 pin D connector on the PC Com 1 and
an RJ-45 connector on the processor side. The pin outs are as follows:
RJ-45 Connector
9 pin Connector
(489.96 debug)
(PC)
Pin 4 (Orange) ----------- Pin 2
Pin 5 (Green) ------------- Pin 3
Pin 6 (Red) ---------------- Pin 5
The 498.96-1 processor will need to have switch 8 of S3 in the "On" position to see the serial information. Also on a
FTIIm system with 498.96-1 processors, the first processor (cpu-0) cannot be used for serial information as it sends
serial data to the 497.01 chassis so you must use the second processor (cpu-1Debug port, Set S3 8 to on) for
serial information. You can Telnet into the first processor (cpu-0) if needed.
