Before You Start

To install the FN IOM in a Dell FX2 server chassis, use the instructions in the Dell Networking FN IOM Getting Started Guide that is shipped

with the product. The FN IOM installs with zero-touch conguration. After you power it on, it boots up with default settings and auto-

congures with software features enabled. This topic describes the default settings and software features that are automatically congured

at startup. To recongure the FN IOM for customized network operation, use the tasks described in the other topics.
