4 Enter the device service tag you purchased the OS10 Enterprise Edition for in the Bind to: and Re-enter ID: elds. This step
binds the software entitlement to the service tag of the switch.
5 Select how to receive the license key — by email or downloaded to your local device.
6 Click Submit to download the License.zip le.
7 Select the Available Downloads tab.
8 Select the OS10 Enterprise Edition release to download, then click Download.
9 Read the Dell End User License Agreement. Scroll to the end of the agreement, then click Yes, I agree.
10 Select how to download the software les, then click Download Now.
After you download the OS10 Enterprise Edition image, unzip the .tar le by following these guidelines:
• Extract the OIS10 binary le from the .tar le using any le archiver/compressor software. For example, to unzip a .tar le on a Linux
server or from the ONIE prompt, enter:
tar -xf tar_filename
• On a Windows server, some Windows unzip applications insert extra carriage returns (CR) or line feeds (LF) when they extract the
contents of a .tar le. The additional CRs or LFs may corrupt the downloaded OS10 binary image. Turn o this option if you use a
Windows-based tool to untar an OS10 binary le.
• Generate a checksum for the downloaded OS10 binary image by running the md5sum command on the image le. Ensure that the
generated checksum matches the checksum extracted from the .tar le.
md5sum image_filename
After you unzip the OS10 Enterprise Edition and download the license, for complete installation and license information, see Installation and
Install license.
RMA replacement
A replacement switch comes without an OS or license installed. If you receive a replacement switch, you must assign the STAG of the
replacement switch to the SW entitlement in DDL and install the OS10 software and license.
To download OS10 Enterprise Edition and the license, follow the steps for an ONIE switch without an OS installed. For complete installation
and license information, see Installation and Install OS10 license.
Installation using ONIE
If you purchase an ONIE-only switch or if you want to replace an existing OS, you can install an OS10 software image using ONIE-based
auto-discovery or a manual installation:
• Automatic installation — ONIE discovers network information including the Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP) server,
connects to an image server, and downloads and installs an image automatically.
• Manual installation — Manually congure your network information if a DHCP server is not available or if you install the OS10 software
image using USB media.
If OS10 is pre-installed on a switch, zero-touch deployment (ZTD) is enabled by default. ZTD automatically downloads and installs an OS10
image in the standby partition. For more information, see Zero-touch deployment.
System setup
Before installation, verify that the system is connected correctly:
• Connect a serial cable and terminal emulator to the console serial port — serial port settings are 115200, 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-specic Installation Guide at www.dell.com/support.
