blank (no password), once the G-Series switch becomes operational in your network. For more
information, refer to the Enterasys G-Series CLI Reference
Note: Instructions for installing PoE on the base switch do not apply to the G3G124-24P model
since it is already equipped with a PoE card.

to avoid misplacing them. Leaving any loose screws inside the switch could result in severe
damage to switch components.
Precaución: Asegúrese de colocar todos los tornillos que haya retirado de la cubierta del switch G-
