2	Install any required optional modules into the switch.	“Powering on the system” on page 24

3	Install the Dell device on a desktop, in an equipment rack	“Installing the device” on page 19
	(use provided retainer clips and screws).

4	Once the device is physically installed, plug the device into	“Powering on the system” on page 24
	a nearby power source that adheres to the regulatory
	requirements outlined in this manual.

5	Attach a terminal or PC to the Dell device. This will enable	“Attaching a PC or terminal” on page 25
	you to configure the device through the Command Line
	Interface (CLI).

6	No default password is assigned to the CLI. For additional	“Assigning permanent passwords” on
	access security, assign a password.	page 33

7	Before attaching equipment to the device, you need to	“Configuring IP addresses” on page 35
	configure an interface IP address to the subnet on which it
	will be located. Initial IP address configuration is
	performed using the CLI with a direct serial connection.
	Subsequent IP address configuration can be performed
	using the Web management interface.

8	Once you power on the device and assign IP addresses,	“Configuring IP parameters for devices
