Getting Started Guide 3
Welcome
This document provides basic information to install and start running the
following Dell Networking X-series switches: X1008/X1008P, X1018/X1018P,
X1026/X1026P, X1052/X1052P and X4012.
The switch is delivered from the factory in Unmanaged Mode to avoid
unauthorized access to the switch. To use the switch in Managed Mode, press
the Mode button for at least seven seconds. The MGMT LED will illuminate
when in Managed Mode. To switch back to Unmanaged Mode, repeat the
process.
These Dell networking devices are ideal for the small to medium business
that requires high performance network connectivity along with advanced
web management features. The management features are designed to
minimize administrative management effort, while enhancing and improving
network traffic control.

a rack or cabinet.
CAUTION: When mounting multiple switches into a rack, mount the switches
from the bottom up.
Install the switch in a rack with brackets as follows (52 port switches have
a ready rail kit):
1
Place the supplied rack-mounting bracket on one side of the switch
making sure the mounting holes on the switch line up to the mounting
holes on the rack mounting bracket.

Figure 1-1. Bracket Installation for Rack Mounting
2 Insert the supplied screws into the rack mounting holes and tighten with
a screwdriver.
3 Repeat the process for the rack-mounting bracket on the other side of the
switch.
4 Insert the switch into the rack, making sure the rack-mounting holes on
the switch line up to the mounting holes on the rack.
5 Secure the switch to the rack with the rack screws (not provided). Fasten
the lower pair of screws before the upper pair of screws. Make sure that the
ventilation holes are not obstructed.
Flat Surface Installation
The switch can be installed on a flat surface if it is not installed on a rack.
The surface must be able to support the weight of the switch and the switch
cables.
1
Attach the self-adhesive rubber pads (provided with the switch) on each
marked location on the bottom of the chassis.
2 Set the switch on a flat surface, while leaving two inches (5.08 cm) on each
side and five inches (12.7 cm) at the back.

6Getting Started Guide
3 Make sure that the switch has proper ventilation.
Wall Installation
To mount the switch on a wall:
1
Make sure that the mounting location meets the following requirements:
• The surface of the wall must be capable of supporting the switch.
• Allow at least two inches (5.1 cm) space on the sides for proper
ventilation and five inches (12.7 cm) at the back for power cable
clearance.
• The location must be ventilated to prevent heat buildup.
2 Place the supplied wall-mounting bracket on one side of the switch,
verifying that the mounting holes on the switch line up to the mounting
holes on the wall-mounting bracket.
Figure 1-2. Bracket Installation for Wall Mounting
3 Insert the supplied screws into the wall-mounting bracket holes and
tighten with a screwdriver.
4 Repeat the process for the wall-mounting bracket on the other side of the
switch.
5 Place the switch on the wall in the location where the switch is being
installed.

6 On the wall mark the locations where the screws to hold the switch must
be prepared.
7 On the marked locations, drill the holes and place all plugs (not provided)
in the holes.
8 Secure the switch to the wall with screws (not provided). Make sure that
the ventilation holes are not obstructed.
Starting and Configuring the Switch
Management Modes
The Dell Networking X1008/18/26 and equivalent PoE versions have a Mode
push button that toggles between Managed and Unmanaged Modes. The
MGMT LED is on when the switch is in Managed Mode and is off when in
Unmanaged Mode. To configure the switch while in Managed Mode, see the
following sections.
NOTE: Release notes and user documentation can be downloaded from
dell.com/support.
Connecting the Switch to the Network
CAUTION: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This will
damage the Ethernet switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors
that conform to FCC standards.
To connect the switch to the network:
• Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable to the switch's RJ-45 connector and
the other end of a twisted-pair cable to another switch or server.
As each connection is made, the link LED corresponding to each port on the
switch is illuminated (green or amber) indicating that the connection is valid.
Initial Configuration Through the Web
The administrator can perform switch configuration using the web
management GUI.
To configure the switch, perform the following:
1
Verify that the switch is in Managed Mode.

8Getting Started Guide
2 Connect the switch to a PC using Ethernet, and set a static IP address
of
192.168.2.x (where x is between 2 and 254) and subnet mask of
255.255.255.0 on the PC. Note that the switch acts as a DHCP client
and can receive its IP address from a DHCP server. If using DHCP for IP
assignment, look up the assigned IP address and use it for the next step.
3 Connect to the switch using the default switch IP address 192.168.2.1 in
your web browser. The login username is
admin with password admin .
4 After logging into the switch using the previous step, a getting started wizard
is available to guide the user through the initial switch configuration.
Applied changes are automatically saved to the startup configuration.
CLI Access
To access the switch using the Command Line Interface (CLI), it must be in
Managed Mode. The Command Line Interface can only be reached by using
telnet or a console connection. See the user guide for limited CLI options.
NOTE: The default switch setting is Unmanaged Mode. To set the switch to
Managed Mode, press the Mode button for at least seven seconds.
Connecting the Switch to a Terminal Server/PC
NOTE: The console port enables connecting to a terminal or desktop system
running terminal emulation software for monitoring or debugging the device
using the micro-USB port. (You can find the USB drivers at dell.com/support.)
To use the console port, the following is required (e.g., PuTTY, TeraTerm, etc.)
• VT100 compatible terminal or a desktop or portable system with a USB
port and running VT100 terminal emulation software.
To connect a terminal to the device console port, verify that the terminal
emulation software is set as follows:
1
Set the data rate to 9600 baud, data format to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and
no parity.
2 Set flow control to none.
3 Select VT100 for Emulation mode.
