Before you get to the other side, take a left when the path branches for an ammo cache! My weapon choices here for the majority of the level were the Lightrifle and Scattershot.

In this room, you'll have to destroy the 3 cores to bring down the first pylon, but be careful: there's a lot of Prometheans in here. Be careful and follow your objective markers.

After fighting your way through them, you will come up to a platform with the console you need, but is being guarded by Promethean Knights and an eyeball thingy that shoots lasers at you. If you want, just book it past them and get to the console!
