Installation
Site Preparation
Before installing the switch or switches, make sure that the chosen
installation location meets the following site requirements:
• Clearance — There is adequate front and rear clearance for operator
access. Allow clearance for cabling, power connections, and ventilation.
• Cabling — The cabling is routed to avoid sources of electrical noise, such
as radio transmitters, broadcast amplifiers, power lines, and fluorescent
lighting fixtures.
• Ambient Temperature — The ambient switch operating temperature
range is 10° to 35ºC (50° to 95ºF).
NOTE: Decrease the maximum temperature by 1°C (1.8°F) per 300 m (985 ft.) above
900 m (2955 ft.).
• Relative Humidity — The operating relative humidity is 8% to 85% (non-
condensing) with a maximum humidity gradation of 10% per hour.
Unpacking the Switch
Package Contents
When unpacking each switch, make sure that the following items are
included:
• One VRTX switch module
• One USB type A-to-DB-9 female cable
• Getting Started Guide

Initial Configuration of the Switch
This section describes how to initially configure the Dell VRTX 1Gb and
10Gb switch modules.
NOTE: Before proceeding further, read the latest documentation and release notes
for this product, which can be downloaded from the Dell Support website at
dell.com/support.
To logon to the switch after it is inserted into the chassis, perform the
following:
1 Turn on the chassis. To display the IP address configured for the out-of-
band interface, go to the CMC GUI, options: I/O Module Overview >
Setup. See the CMC User Guide for further information on how to access
the CMC GUI.
2 Log on to the switch in one of the following ways:
– Establish a Telnet session to the out-of-band IP address obtained in
the last step, and log on with the default user/password: root/calvin.
Continue managing the switch through the CLI (see the Dell
PowerEdge VRTX Switch Modules, R1-2401 and R1-2210 CLI
Reference Guides).
– Open a GUI session from the CMC GUI, options: I/O Module
Overview > Properties > Launch IOM GUI. In the Login menu,
select either Basic or Advanced mode and use the default
user/password: root/calvin. Continue managing the switch through
the Network Administrator. See the Dell PowerEdge VRTX Switch
Modules, R1-2401 and R1-2210 User Guide.
– Connect to the IOM serial interface through the CMC. For that, use
the CMC command: connect switch. See the CMC Command Line
Reference from dell.com/support/manuals.
