5. Install the necessary USB device drivers.
To download Dell EMC drivers, see www.dell.com/support. If your computer requires non-Dell EMC drivers, contact Dell
EMC Technical Support for assistance.
6. Open your terminal software emulation program to access the switch.
7. Confirm that the terminal settings on your terminal software emulation program are as follows:
● 115200 baud rate
● No parity
● 8 data bits
● 1 stop bit
● No flow control
USB storage mount
USB storage does not automatically mount. USB storage supports the FAT file system. To use USB storage, first mount the
device using the following steps:
1. Start up the switch.
2. Press Enter on the ONIE rescue mode menu option from the ONIE Grub boot loader.
3. Create a mount directory for the USB storage.
ONIE:/ # mkdir /mnt/usb
4. View the fixed disks using the fdisk command.
ONIE:/mnt # fdisk -l
For internal storage:
Disk /dev/sda: 15.8 GB, 15829303296 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1924 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 1925 15458303+ ee EFI GPT
For USB storage:
Disk /dev/sdb: 30.9 GB, 30942946304 bytes
64 heads, 32 sectors/track, 29509 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
5. Mount the device /dev/sdb to the /mnt/usb directory.
ONIE:/ # mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /mnt/usb
NOTE:
If the /mnt/usb directory is missing, the following message displays: mount: mounting /dev/sdb
on /mnt/usb failed: No such file or directory.
NOTE: If the USB device is not seen, the following message displays: mount: mounting /dev/sdb on /mnt/usb
failed: No such device or address.
Before you install an OS
After powering on the S5200F-ON Series switch, it goes through a power-on self-test (POST).
POST runs every time the switch is initialized and checks the hardware components to determine if the switch is fully
operational before booting. After POST, the switch uses the Grub bootloader.
To select an entry, use the up and down arrow keys. Press Enter to select an OS or enter e to edit the commands before
booting. Enter c for a command line. The selected entry runs automatically in the operating system.
