2. Power on the PSE2
Power on the PSE2 and the monitor (if applicable). A green LED on the front of
the device will come on and the startup messages will be displayed to the screen.
Power-on is complete when the
PSE2 login: prompt is displayed.
3. Login to the console
Following boot up, the PSE2 will prompt for login credentials. If you are using a
monitor/keyboard, you can log in as
admin or root . If you are using a serial
connection, you can log in as admin only.
The default passwords for the root and admin users are as follows:
User name Default password
root password
admin password
At this time, we
strongly recommend that you use the “passwd” command to
enter a new password for the admin and root users. Please remember the
passwords. There is no recovery option if you lose the system’s root password
(other than “obtain an RMA number, ship the unit back to us and have it re-
imaged”, which is not a warranty service).
