Did you press the Mode button while the switch was still running POST?

If not, make sure that only the SYST and STAT LEDs are green before pressing the Mode button to enter the Express Setup mode.

If yes, wait until POST completes. Power cycle the switch. Wait until POST completes. Confirm that the SYST and STAT LEDs are green. Press the Mode button to enter Express Setup mode.

Did you try to continue without confirming that the switch was in Express Setup mode?

Does your PC have a static IP address?

Did you connect a crossover cable instead of a straight-through Ethernet cable between a switch port and the Ethernet port of the PC?

Did you connect the Ethernet cable to the console port instead of to a 10/100 or 10/100/1000 Ethernet port on the switch?

Did you wait 30 seconds after connecting the switch and PC before entering the IP address in your browser?

Did you enter the wrong address in the browser, or is there an error message?

Verify that all LEDs above the Mode button are green. (The RPS LED is off.) If necessary, press the Mode button to enter Express Setup mode.

If yes, before connecting to the switch change your PC settings to temporarily use DHCP.

If yes, connect a straight-through cable to an Ethernet port on the switch and PC. Wait 30 seconds before entering 10.0.0.1 in the browser.

If yes, disconnect from the console port. Connect to an Ethernet port on the switch and PC. Wait 30 seconds before entering 10.0.0.1 in the browser.

If not, wait 30 seconds, re-enter 10.0.0.1 in the browser, and press Enter.

If yes, re-enter 10.0.0.1 in the browser, and press Enter.
