Specifications

To assign an IP address to the management interface, eth0, and verify network connectivity, use the ifconfig eth0 <ip

address> command, as shown:

ONIE:/ # ifconfig eth0 x.x.x.x netmask x.x.x.x UP

Then set speed on management interface as below

ONIE:/ # ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full

Verify the network connection with ping.

ONIE:/ # ping x.x.x.x

PING x.x.x.x (x.x.x.x): 56 data bytes

64 bytes from x.x.x.x: seq=0 ttl=62 time=1.357 ms

64 bytes from x.x.x.x: seq=1 ttl=62 time=0.577 ms

Installation ONIE from BIOS

There are two options for installing ONIE from the BIOS.

• Media (usb) boot using the ONIE installer USB (using the OCP Procedure)

• Media (usb) boot using the Ubuntu installer USB (using the custom-bootable USB procedure)

Pre-requisites

The BIOS running on your system must meet the following requirements:

• Allows a change to the boot order so the system can boot from media (USB).

• Allows a baud-rate change. This feature is optional; you do not need it if your BIOS is running at 115200 baud rate. The default baud rate

for ONIE is 115200.

CAUTION

• These procedures are for x86-based targets only, particularly targets using Rangeley or Centerton CPU-based boards.

• Check the console (UART-0/1) used on the target.

• The log messages included in this guide are subject to change.

NOTE: The following procedure is generic and does not list a particular target. Therefore, the ONIE images are specied using

the <platform>_<cpu> notation. For example, the ONIE media (usb) iso image is onie-recovery-x86_64-

dell_<platform>_<cpu>-r0.iso.

ONIE UEFI-based installation using USB

The following steps describe how to create a bootable unied extensible rmware interface (UEFI) ONIE-based USB to install ONIE using

Embed mode:

To install ONIE UEFI on your system, use any existing ONIE-based system to make an ONIE UEFI-based bootable USB. To make a bootable

USB, use the ONIE ISO le.

1 Boot the ONIE target in ONIE Rescue mode.

Use ONIE Rescue mode to make the ONIE UEFI-bootable USB.

To select which entry is highlighted, use the up and down arrow keys. Press Enter to select an operating software-selected OS or

enter e to edit the commands before booting. Enter c for a command line. The highlighted entry, displaying *, executes automatically

in the operating system.
