NEW Never Used/Installed

DOUBLE CHECKING (TESTING)
Although NEW (Old Stock) I have powered up the switch and made a few tests.
All settings are default, no passwords etc have been set
P.O.S.T (Power On Self Test - Self Diagnosis) is fine, takes around one minute to complete the P.O.S.T cycle and then just two LED's are lit up, POWER ON and OK on the system module.
"Talked" to the switch via the front panel console port, all looks normal (and unchanged settings)
I have not gone to the extent of Web access or connecting to the ports but I have no doubt all is fine.
