  Select the appropriate serial port (COM1 or COM2).

To be able to view the boot procedure, the Switch needs to be rebooted. The simplest way, at this stage, to reboot the 
Switch is to unplug and re-insert the power cable from and into the power receptacle on the back of the Switch. 
After correctly configuring the terminal settings and re-inserting the power cable, the boot procedure will appear in the 
terminal.
