Before you install an operating system
NOTE: Before you install an operating system, ensure that the switch has the most current ONIE and firmware version. To
upgrade your switch, go the Drivers and Downloads page for your switch as www.dell.com/support.
After turning on the Z9432F-ON switch, it goes through a power-on self-test (POST). POST runs every time that 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 ONIE menu entry.
Grub bootloader example
GNU GRUB version 2.02~beta2+e4a1fe391
