Hi All,

  I have a job to reconfigure a Dell Force 10 MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO 
Module for a client and the
DB9 to USB-A console cable has gone missing, most likely taken by the 
guys that did the initial setup.

 From the PDF I got from the Dell website, they list the following pin 
outs, but they have only served to
confuse me further as the USB A only has 4 pins, so are they referring 
to the DB9?

USB Pin Number Signal Name
Pin 1 RTS
Pin 2 RX
Pin 3 TX
Pin 4 CTS
Pin 5, 6 GND
RxD Chassis GND

Does anyone have a cable around that they would kind enough to check the 
pinouts on for me so I can
make up a cable to reconfigure the cards? If not, I will have to try and 
get another cable off Dell.
