Hey guys,
I am in the process of buying a Cisco 2511 router so I will need a console cable in order to set it up. My motherboard did not have a serial connector on the rear I/O panel, but it does have a header in the motherboard for it.
I was thinking about buying an adapter for the header and just use a PCI slot bracket for that (my case has a PCI slot bracket at the top which is unused... as there are no PCI slots up there of course). The only one I can find is a low-profile bracket, which would not work as it is standard height.
Does anyone know of a bracket for this use which is standard height? I could buy a USB adapter but all my USB ports in the back of my computer are used.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a million guys!
