How to setup dell force10 switch?

Given :
1. Dell m1000e blade rack with one CMC module on board. There are 8 blade servers in the rack and a force10 mxl 10/40GbE switch
2. Access to two subnets (via admins): 10.10.10/24, 10.10.12.0/24
Problem : This is
my first time dealing with such pieces of hardware, and it seems very strong stupid. I need to configure the switch as follows:
1) blade servers receive addresses on the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet without dhcp (via switch ports) so that they can be accessed from the 10.10.10.0/24 network or from 10.10.12.0/ 24
2) the management interface should be visible only from the 10.10.10.0/24 network
3) it is highly desirable that everything happens on the 10.10.10.0/24 network, because it is only available to our department
Previously, on simpler switches, I did this very simply - I assigned an address to the management interface, assigned the existing gateway of the network in which the assigned address was located as gateway, for the internal network of the switch I assigned the address of the switch as gateway management. That is, it looked as if the switch had an address on my network, and all traffic passed through it.
This switch fails to do this: starting with the fact that the management port cannot register gateway at all, ending with the fact that the gateway of the internal network of the rack cannot be on the same subnet as the management interface.
I could not find literally a single example of setting up such a switch with real parameters (abcd is written everywhere), and I'm clearly missing something. At the same time, I am sure that the question is very stupid, and the task is trivial
Help me please?

Short answer to my own question. It turned out that a ban on adding new subnets was configured on the admin switches (which is logical). Thus, the configuration process boiled down to:
1) Creating a vlan for interfaces through which communication with upstream switches took place and those to which blades are connected
2) Assigning an address to this vlan in accordance with the rules of the overlying network
