Setup Guide

Getting Started
This chapter describes how you start configuring your system.
When you power up the chassis, the system performs a power-on self test (POST) and system then loads the Dell EMC Networking
Operating System. Boot messages scroll up the terminal window during this process. No user interaction is required if the boot process
proceeds without interruption.
When the boot process completes, the system status LEDs remain online (green) and the console monitor displays the EXEC mode
prompt.
For details about using the command line interface (CLI), refer to the Accessing the Command Line section in the Configuration
Fundamentals chapter.
