Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these console port default characteristics:

9600 baud

8 data bits

Step 3 Wait for the switch module to complete the POST. It might take several minutes for the switch module to complete POST.

Step 4 Verify that POST has completed by confirming that the system and status LEDs remain green.

If the switch module fails POST, the system LED turns amber. POST errors are usually fatal. Call Cisco Systems immediately if your switch module fails POST.

Step 5 Wait for the switch to complete initialization. When you see the prompt, Press Return to Get Started!, press Return or Enter.

Step 6 Make sure that the system and status LEDs are green. This means that the switch module is operating properly.

Step 7 See the “Completing the Initial Configuration” section on page C-4for instructions on setting up and initially configuring the switch module.
