98561-61604 DCA Serial Cable for System Interface Boards


The DB9 connector on the System Interface Boards is not a normal 9 pin serial port. HP had a special cable to connect with normal DB25 serial cables (part number 98561-61604). This is a dca device. Use /dev/tty0.

You can use a normal non-null cable if you're willing to sacrifice hardware handshaking.
