I'm not sure what your scenario is but this document is quite detailed on configuring a DHCP server on the 5500 series 3Com switch. In fact - chapter 53 (page 601-632) gives excellent detail and configuration examples. If you are unable to digest this information then I would suggest contracting in an expert for this particular piece of work as this does not seem to be a "run of the mill" set up.

Also, a default vlan is exactly that - default. You should not have to create it as it will exist by default.
