Hi Warren,

You don't need to worry. I regularly attach and detach my laptop for use as a console, and the filer doesn't mind.

Regards, Andrew

Hi all -

I need to move the serial console on my 530 and 740 filers. Basically, the console ports on the filers go to a pair of Wyse terminals. We need to move the Wyse terminals few feet, and that will require disconnecting and rerouting the serial cables. I've never disconnected the console while the filer is up and running. Will this crash the filer, or cause any problems? I know that some Sun servers crash when the console is disconnected, and I'd like to avoid that if at all possible.

Thanks in advance for your help,
