+## First Time Setup
+
+### Reset the Switch to Factory Defaults
+The switch can be reset through the on screen display's menu. This can be 
+controlled using the two available buttons, ``menu`` and ``enter``.
+
+To factory reset the switch, do the following:
+
+1. Press the ``menu`` button to bring up the on screen menu. You may have to press
+   the button twice, once to activate the screen and once to open the menu.
+2. Press the ``menu`` button until you see that ``Maintenance`` is selected.
+3. Press the ``enter`` button.
+4. Press the ``menu`` button until ``Factory Default`` is selected.
+5. Press the ``enter`` button once to select, and a second time to confirm.
+
+### Connecting Via Serial
+The Aruba S2500 has a micro USB port on the back which exposes a serial
+interface that can be used to manage the switch.
+
+To connec to the serial interface you will need a computer, a micro USB cable,
+and a serial application (here we are using `screen`).
+
+1. Connect the USB serial port on the back of the switch to your computer
+2. Connect to the serial port with screen
+    - `sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 9600` (replace `ttyUSB0` with the device node 
+       your system assigns to the switch)
+3. Login with the default username and password
+    - username: `password`
+    - password: `forgetme!`
+
+You should now be dropped to a shell that looks like the below

+
+
+### Connecting Via Ethernet (TODO)
+
+The Aruba S2500 provides a Web UI that can be used to configure the switch.
+
+The WebUI forces HTTPS by default and the ciphers supported are not permitted by
+most modern browsers. You can enabled outdated ciphers in your browser which
+will enable you to sucessfully connect, but the WebUI may still fail to display.
+
+To connect to the WebUI
+
+1. Connect an ethernet cable between your device and one of the 1GbE port on
+   the front of the switch
+2. On your machine, assign the interface a static IP with the follow configuration
+   - IP: `172.16.0.2`
+   - Subnet Mask: `255.255.255.0` or `/24`
+   - Gateway: `172.16.0.1`
+3. Connect to `http://172.16.0.254` in your browser.
+
+You should now have access to the WebUI.
