CONFIGURATION and DIAGNOSTICS
A dedicated serial port, labeled DIAG, is located on the CDU’s Rear Panel Assembly. The port uses a
standard 9-pin plug type RS-232/C “D” connector and interfaces to an IBM compatible PC via a
“straight-through” off-the-shelf 9-pin serial cable. All CDU configuration and diagnostics are performed
using the DIAG port in conjunction with Diagnostic Software running on a PC.
