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) 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 
section in the 
 chapter.
 
Console Access
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.
