Converter
Chapter 3 provides instructions for installing and removing the
Serial Converter.
3.1 Identifying the Supplied Cables
The following cables, supplied with the Serial Converter, are all you
should need to connect the Serial Converter to a product and
computer.
Important: To provide proper termination of the serial cable
shield, the computer chassis should be properly
grounded. If it is not possible or practical to ground the
computer chassis, then a ground wire should be
connected to the serial cable shield at the shell of the
9-pin sub-miniature D-connector.
Important: The RJ45 cable shield must be properly grounded to
provide EMC protection. On the MD60 or MD65 drive,
pin 16 on the drive control terminal block must be
connected to the drive earth ground terminal.
