Did you notice the warning on that web page?

"Note: The serial port is reserved for special service procedures that
can be performed only by qualified, trained service personnel. Do not
attempt to perform any procedures through the serial port or you risk
damaging the disk tray configuration and data."

touch that with a ten foot pole!!!! IOW, if you need to ask, get
professional help!
