9 Read the Dell End User License Agreement. Scroll to the end of the agreement, then click Yes, I agree.

10 Select how you want 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, see Installation and Install license for complete installation and

license information.

RMA replacement

A replacement switch comes without an operation system 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.

Follow the steps for an ONIE switch without an OS installed to download OS10 Enterprise Edition and the license. See Installation and

Install OS10 license for complete installation and license information.

Installation using ONIE

If you purchase an open network install environment (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 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

Verify that the system is connected correctly before installation:

• Connect a serial cable and terminal emulator to the console serial port — required serial port settings are 115200, 8 data bits, and no

parity.

• Connect the Management port to the network if you prefer downloading an image over a network. To locate the Console port and the

Management port, see the Getting Started Guide shipped with your device or the platform-specic Installation Guide at

www.dell.com/support.

Install OS10

If ONIE is installed on a device, navigate to the ONIE boot menu. An ONIE-enabled device boots up with pre-loaded diagnostics and ONIE

software.
