Part 5: Perform Initial Configuration
NOTE: To obtain an IP address dynamically, you must enable a DHCP client on the
management PC you connect to the switch.
NOTE: Read the following steps before you begin the configuration. Complete the initial
configuration using EZSetup within 10 minutes. The LCD panel displays a count-down
timer when the switch is in initial setup mode. The switch exits EZSetup after 10 minutes
and reverts to the factory configuration, and the PC loses connectivity to the switch.

return the switch to the factory default configuration. EZSetup is displayed in the
menu only when the switch is set to the factory default configuration.
− Press Enter to confirm setup and continue with EZSetup.

Safety Warnings Summary
This is a summary of safety warnings. For a complete list of warnings, including
translations, see the see the PowerConnect J-EX4200 switch documentation at
http://www.suppport.dell.com/manuals
WARNING: Failure to observe these safety warnings can result in personal injury
or death.
Permit only trained and qualified personnel to install or replace switch components.
Perform only the procedures described in this quick start and the J-EX4200 switch
) on
documentation. Only authorized service personnel must perform other services.
Before installing the switch, read the planning instructions in the J-EX4200 switch
documentation to make sure that the site meets power, environmental, and clearance
requirements for the switch.
Before connecting the switch to a power source, read the installation instructions in the
J-EX4200 switch documentation.
A fully loaded J-EX4200 switch weighs approximately 22 lb (10 kg). Manually installing
the switch in a rack requires one person to lift the switch and a second person to install
mounting screws. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not
your back.
If the rack has stabilizing devices, install them in the rack before mounting or servicing
the switch in the rack.
Before installing or after removing an electrical component, always place it
component-side up on a flat antistatic surface or in an electrostatic bag.
Do not work on the switch or connect or disconnect cables during electrical storms.
Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry,
including rings, necklaces, and watches. Metal objects heat up when connected to
power and ground and can cause serious burns or become welded to the terminals.
Power Cable Warning (Japanese)
The power cable is only for this product. Do not use the cable for another product.
