Uninstall an existing OS
CAUTION: To install a networking operating system (NOS) on a switch that has a previously installed OS, you must first
uninstall the existing OS. The ONIE: Uninstall OS option deletes the switch configuration and all disk partitions.
To uninstall an existing NOS, boot up the switch. When the ONIE boot menu displays, use the arrow keys to scroll the asterisk to select
the ONIE: Uninstall OS option. This selection stops the switch from booting to the default setting of ONIE: Install OS.

After the ONIE uninstall process completes, the switch boots to ONIE: Install OS mode.
Install a NOS
CAUTION:
Installing a NOS using ONIE erases all software configurations on the switch. The configuration settings are
not recoverable. Back up all software configurations and installed licenses on the switch before performing OS updates
or changes. Store a regular backup of the switch configuration off the switch.
• Automatic installation—ONIE discovers network information including the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server,
connects to an image server, and downloads and installs an image automatically.
• Manual installation—Manually configure your network information if a DHCP server is not available or if you install the NOS
software image using USB media.
System setup
Before installation, verify that the system is connected correctly:
• Connect a serial cable and terminal emulator to the console serial port. The serial port settings are 115200 baud rate, 8 data bits, and
no parity.
• Connect the Management port to the network to download an image over a network. To locate the Console port and the
Management port, see the platform-specific Installation Guide at www.dell.com/support.
Install the NOS
For an ONIE-enabled switch, go to the ONIE boot menu. An ONIE-enabled switch boots with preloaded diagnostics (DIAGs) and ONIE
software.

OS image, the previously installed image and configuration are deleted.
