Important Cable Pinouts

[arkie]

Hi,

Where can I get the pinouts for the rp4440 serial console cable (5814-1894) and the W-cable (A6144-63007)?

Thanks in advance.

The rp4440 does not have a W or M cable, just use a "null-modem" cable.

hi,

well, torsten is right about the cables and the RP4440.

But you have the part number slightly wrong also. I believe it should be the 5184-1894 cable part number you are after pin outs for. This was originally shipped with the procurve switches not the 9000srs? but they work for connecting to a serial connection on a laptop i do know.

well the info is here

as for the W or M cable, I personally would'nt bother making one as they are not expensive to buy from HP.

but check the operations guide for the relevent servers, the pin outs may be in those

not the pinouts for the w or m cable, but some other useful info for them both can be found here.

lists the main differences in the cables and the wiring
