The cable is indeed a serial cable, but it's DB9-to-RJ45.

I haven't really ever seen any pin-out information for this cable.

You may want to call Dell support for assistence on this. Recovering/reimaging the OS on a storage processor is reasonably well documented, but it wouldn't hurt to get assistence from the specialists.

Hi tommo666

I know your post was very long time ago, but It would be much helpful for me If I understood it :)

It's seems to be working from guys feed back. Kindly clarify the pinouts as follows:

RJ45                               DB9

1                                      ????

2                                      ????

3                                      ????

4                                      ????

5                                      ????

6                                      ????

7                                      ????

8                                      ????

Taking into consideration that the numbering of the DB9 is standard and normally labeled on the connector as follows:

While facing the Female DB9 Connector it would be like this

5 4 3 2 1

9 8 7 6

For the RJ45 while facing the connector and the latching pin is down the first pin would be on the right like this

8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

I really need the pinouts to restore the SP image.

Thanks in advance.

There are 2 main types of serial cable; null modem and straight-through.

Just Google "Null modem pin-out" and it should tell you. Or go to your local radio shack or so and buy a null-modem cable.

@Dev Mgr

The point that the null modem and straight-through cables available on the market or on the internet are DB9 - to - DB9, which is not useful in our case, I need it RJ45 - to - DB9
