Getting Started
This chapter describes how you start conguring your system.
When you power up the chassis, the system performs a power-on self test (POST) and system then loads the Dell 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 Conguration
Fundamentals chapter.
