Troubleshooting Express Setup
If Express Setup does not run, or if the Express Setup page does not appear in your 
browser:
Did you verify that POST ran 
suc
cessfully before starting 
Express Setup?
If not, make sure that only the SYST and 
STAT LEDs are green before you press the 
Mode button to enter the Express Setup 
mode.
POST errors are usually fatal. Contact your 
Cisco 
technical support representative if your 
switch fails POST.
Did you press the Mode button 
whil
e the switch was still running 
POST?
If yes, wait until POST completes. Power 
cycle the switch. Wait until POST completes. 
Confirm that the SYST and STAT LEDs are 
green. Press the Mode button to enter 
Express Setup mode.
Did you try to continue without 
con
firming that the switch was in 
Express Setup mode?
Verify that all LEDs next to the RJ-45 
console port are green. If necessary, press the 
Mode button to enter Express Setup mode.
Does your PC have a static IP 
address
?
If yes, before connecting to the switch, 
change your PC settings to temporarily use 
DHCP.
Did you connect a crossover 
cable instead of a
straight-through Ethernet cable 
between a switch port and the PC 
Ethernet port?
If yes, connect a straight-through cable to an 
Et
hernet port on the switch and the PC. Wait 
30 seconds before you enter 10.0.0.1 in the 
browser.
