Booting the Switch

To boot the switch, perform the following:
1 Ensure that the device console port is connected to a VT100 terminal device or VT100 terminal
emulator via the RS-232 crossover cable.
2 Locate an AC power receptacle.
3 Deactivate the AC power receptacle.
4 Connect the device to the AC receptacle.
5 Activate the AC power receptacle.
When the power is turned on with the local terminal already connected, the switch goes through Power
On Self Test (POST). POST runs every time the device is initialized and checks hardware components to
determine if the device is fully operational before completely booting. If a critical problem is detected,
the program flow stops. If POST passes successfully, a valid executable image is loaded into RAM. POST
messages are displayed on the terminal and indicate test success or failure.
The boot process runs approximately 90 seconds.

Initial Configuration

NOTE:
Before proceeding, read the release notes for this product. You can download the release notes from Dell
support website at http://support.dell.com.
NOTE:
The initial simple configuration uses the following assumptions:
The PowerConnect device was never configured before, and is in the same state as when you received it.
The PowerConnect device booted successfully.
The console connection is established and the console prompt is displayed on the screen of a VT100 terminal
device. (Press the <Enter> key several times to verify that the prompt displays correctly.)
The initial device configuration is through the Serial port. After the initial configuration, the device can
then be managed either from the already connected Serial port or remotely through an interface defined
during the initial configuration.
The system prompts you to use the Set-up wizard when the device boots up for the first time or if the
configuration file is empty because the device is not configured. The Setup Wizard provides guidance
through the initial device configuration, and gets the device up and running as quickly as possible.
NOTE:
Obtain the following information from your network administrator before configuring the device:
SNMP Community String and SNMP Management System IP address (optional).
Username and Password.
The IP address to be assigned to the VLAN 1 interface through which the device is to be managed (by default,
every external and internal port is a member of the VLAN 1)
The IP subnet mask for the network
The default gateway (next hop router) IP address for configuring the default route.
