Service Manual

Getting Started

This chapter describes how you start conguring your system.

When you power up the chassis, the system performs a power-on self test (POST) during which the line card status light emitting

diodes (LEDs) blink green. The system then loads the Dell Networking Operating System (OS). 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 RPM and line card 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 Conguration

Fundamentals chapter.

Console Access

The device has one RS-232 port, an out-of-band (OOB) Ethernet port, and a micro USB-B console port.

Serial Console

The RJ-45/RS-232 console port is labeled on the chassis. It is in the upper right-hand side, as you face the I/O side of the chassis.
