Getting Started Guide

This guide provides instructions on how to install your Cisco Catalyst Blade
Switch 3030—hereafter referred to as the switch module—in the Dell Modular
Server Chassis and to set up and configure your switch module. The Dell Modular
Server Chassis—hereafter referred to as the server chassis—is a system that
supports up to ten server modules and up to four Ethernet switch modules. The
switch module is installed in one of the chassis I/O module bays on the rear panel
of the server chassis.
Also covered in this guide are switch management options and troubleshooting
help for the switch module.
For details on the number, types, and the location of the module bays and for
additional information on the entire modular server system, see the Dell
PowerEdge 1855 Systems User's Guide and the Dell PowerEdge 1855 Systems
Installation and Troubleshooting Guide at
www.support.dell.com.
For additional installation and configuration information about the switch
module, see the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3030 documentation on Cisco.com.
For system requirements, important notes, limitations, open and resolved caveats,
and last-minute documentation updates about the switch module, see the release
notes, also on Cisco.com.
When using the online publications, refer to the documents that match the Cisco
IOS software version that is running on the switch. You can order printed copies
of the manuals from the Cisco.com sites and from the telephone numbers listed in
the
"Obtaining Documentation" section on page
