Verify Port Connectivity

After you connect a device to the switch port, the port LED turns amber while the
switch establishes a link. This process takes about 30 seconds. The LED turns
green when the switch and the attached device have an established link. If the
LED is off, the device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or
there might be a problem with the adapter installed in the device. See the “In Case
of Difficulty” section on page 28 for information about online assistance.
In Case of Difficulty
If you experience difficulty, help is available in this section and on Cisco.com.
Also review the Dell server chassis documentation on the Dell support website at
www.support.dell.com.
This section includes initial setup troubleshooting, how to reset the switch, how
to access help online, and where to find more information.

Troubleshooting Initial Configuration Setup

If you have problems running the initial configuration dialog:
•Did you verify that POST successfully ran
before running the initial configuration
dialog?
POST errors are usually fatal. Call Cisco
Customer Support immediately if your switch fails
POST.
•Did you lock yourself out and forget your
password?
See the “Recovering from a Lost or Forgotten
Password” section in the Troubleshooting
appendix of the software configuration guide on
Cisco.com if you forget your password.
