186 Hardware Overview
Figure 3-32. Dell EMC Networking N3248 System Panel
A separate USB micro type B port is also available for console access to the
CPU CLI. RS-232 emulation over USB is supported on this port. A driver may
need to be installed to support the RS-232 emulation. Only one of the
console ports may be used at a time.
N3200-ON Series USB Port
The Type-A, female USB port supports a USB 3.0-compliant flash memory
drive. The Dell EMC Networking N-Series switch can read or write to a flash
drive with a single partition formatted as FAT-32. Use a USB flash drive to
copy switch configuration files and images between the USB flash drive and
the switch. The USB flash drive may be used to move and copy configuration
files and images to other switches in the network. The system does not
support the deletion of files on USB flash drives. The USB port does not
support any other type of USB device.
N3200-ON Series Reset Button
The reset button is accessed through the pinhole and enables performing a
hard or soft reset on the switch. To use the reset button, insert an unbent
paper clip or similar tool into the pinhole for four seconds and then release
the button. When the switch completes the boot process after the reset, it
resumes operation with the most recently saved configuration. Any changes
made to the running configuration that were not saved to the startup
configuration prior to the reset are lost.
To clear the configuration and reboot, press the reset button for at least eight
seconds and then release it. The saved configuration is cleared and the switch
reboots. The switch will then start the auto-configuration process.
