Concept Guide

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) 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 Conguration

Fundamentals chapter.
