Starting Express Setup Chapter 1 Using Express Setup Step 2 Connect the other end of the power cable to a grounded AC outlet. After the switch powers on, it begins the power-on self-test (POST), a series of tests that run automatically to ensure that the switch functions properly. POST lasts approximately 1 minute. When POST is complete, only the SYST and STAT LEDs remain green. The MASTR LED is also green on a single switch or on a stack master switch. The SYST LED turns amber if the POST fails. If the POST fails, see Chapter 4, "Troubleshooting," to determine a course of action. Starting Express Setup Express Setup is a browser-based program that you can use to set up and configure the switch. You assign the IP information so that the switch can connect to local routers and the Internet. The IP address is also required if you plan to further configure the switch. You do not create a username with Express Setup. Express Setup provides the mimimum configuration to configure a switch. To create a username for the switch, use the Cluster Managment Suite (CMS) or the command-line interface (CLI). Note Before starting Express Setup, verify that the switch has passed POST and that the SYST and STAT LEDs are green. For information about troubleshooting a POST failure, see the "Understanding POST Results" section on page 4-2. You cannot start Express Setup until POST has completed. Caution Do not start Express Setup when there are any devices connected to the switch. The switch acts as a DHCP server during the Express Setup procedure, and only the PC or workstation connected to the switch after Express Startup is started should receive a DHCP address from the switch.

Starting Express Setup
Express Setup is a browser-based program that you can use to set up and configure
the switch. You assign the IP information so that the switch can connect to local
routers and the Internet. The IP address is also required if you plan to further
configure the switch.
You do not create a username with Express Setup. Express Setup provides the
mimimum configuration to configure a switch. To create a username for the

(CLI).
Note
Before starting Express Setup, verify that the switch has passed POST and that the
SYST and STAT LEDs are green. For information about troubleshooting a POST
failure, see the
Understanding POST Results
section on page 4-2
. You cannot
start Express Setup until POST has completed.
Caution
Do not start Express Setup when there are any devices connected to the switch.
The switch acts as a DHCP server during the Express Setup procedure, and only
the PC or workstation connected to the switch after Express Startup is started
should receive a DHCP address from the switch.
