Download OS10 image
If you purchase the OS10 Enterprise Edition image with an after point-of-sale order, your OS10 purchase allows you to download software
images posted within the rst 90 days of ownership. After the order is complete, you receive an email notication with a software
entitlement ID, order number, and link to the DDL.
To extend the software-entitled download period, you must have a Dell EMC ProSupport or ProSupport Plus contract on your hardware.
Bind the software entitlement to the switch service tag to be the same time as the support contract:
1 Sign into DDL using your account credentials.
2 Locate your entitlement ID and order number that is sent by email, and then select the product name.
3 On the Product page, the Assigned To eld on the Product tab is blank. Click Key Available for Download.
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, and then click Download.
9 Read the Dell End User License Agreement. Scroll to the end of the agreement, and then click Yes, I agree.
10 Select how to download the software les, and then click Download Now.
11 After you download the OS10 Enterprise Edition image, unpack the .tar le and store the OS10 binary image on a local server. To
unpack the .tar le, follow these guidelines:
Extract the OS10 binary le from the .tar le. For example, to unpack a .tar le on a Linux server or from the ONIE prompt, enter:
tar -xf tar_filename
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 in the image MD5 le that is extracted from the .tar le.
md5sum image_filename
12 Follow the procedures in Installation using ONIE and Install OS10 license to install an OS10 Enterprise Edition image and license.
Installation using ONIE
CAUTION
: Installing OS10 or another OS using ONIE erases all software congurations on the switch. The conguration settings
are not recoverable. Back up all software congurations and installed licenses on the switch before performing OS updates or
changes. Store a regular backup of the switch conguration o the switch.
If you purchase an ONIE-only switch or if you want to replace an existing OS, download an OS10 image as described in Download OS10
image. Then 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.
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 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-specic Installation Guide at www.dell.com/support.
