To assign an IP address to the management interface (eth0) and verify network connectivity, use the

ifconfig eth0 <ip address> command, as shown in the following example.

ONIE:/ # ifconfig eth0 n.n.n.n/n UP

Verify the network connection with ping.

ONIE:/ # ping n.n.n.n

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

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

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

Installing ONIE from the 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 is optional and 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.

• Dell Networking recommends checking the console (UART-0/1) used on 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 specified using the <platform>_<cpu> notation. For example, the ONIE media (usb) iso

image is onie-recovery-x86_64-dell_<platform>_<cpu>-r0.iso.

Media (USB) Boot using the ONIE Installer USB

(the OCP Procedure)

The following procedure prepares a bootable USB using the ONIE .iso image. To boot into ONIE Recovery

mode, use the bootable USB from the BIOS.

To install ONIE, use the ONIE embed option:

http://opencomputeproject.github.io/onie/docs/design-spec/x86_recovery.html#usb-drive-install.

1 Copy the .iso file to the current working directory.

ONIE:/mnt # tftp -g -r onie-recovery-x86_64-dell_<platform>_<processor ID>-

r0.iso n.n.n.
