說明

Unity XT arrays (excluding XT 380/380F) have a micro serial port in the back that can be used for a direct connection into the SP. This type of connection can be used instead of IPMI. However both cannot be used simultaneously. 

A Micro DB-9 serial cable can be used to connect a computer directly to an SP.

For computers that do not have a serial port a USB to DB-9 serial adapter cable can be used alongside the Micro DB-9 serial cable.

Once the serial port is connected on the array open a terminal, select serial connection. Before connecting adjust the speed to 115200.
Note: Verify what COM represents the physical serial connection. Sometimes a different COM port is selected by default. 
select serial port

In the event strange output in the terminal is seen, turn the flow control off. 
turn off Flow control in the terminal.

Once the putty session is opened, a login screen should be seen.
