The command line interface (CLI) prompt appears (Dell>_) when you are connected to the S5000.

NOTE: Only one of the console ports can be active at a time; by default, the USB console takes

priority over the RJ-45 console. When a USB host (PC) is plugged into the USB console port, the

hardware automatically switches over to use the USB console. When the USB cable is removed or

the PC deactivates the USB connection, the hardware automatically switches to the RJ-45 console

interface.

Booting Process

After you set up the S5000 as described in the installation procedure in the S5000 Getting Started Guide,

the switch boots up.

The following example shows an example of the completed boot process.
