Preparation:
If you have a RouterBoard without a serial port (i.e. RB750 Series) you can skip ahead
to step 6 otherwise start at step 1.
1. Download and run Putty,

2. Configure PuTTy for MikroTik Serial access (Ensure you select the correct COM
port for your serial port mine is COM1):

3. Plug your serial cable into your RouterBoard. Click open in PuTTy then power
your RouterBoard. You only have about 2-3 seconds to hit any key to enter
setup so be quick!
