Onboard your switch with
ExtremeCloud™. Log in or create your XIQ administrator account in order to
select your switch operating system with XIQ at

Switch Engine
is the default operating system for the Universal Hardware switch. You can change
the switch OS from the Bootloader menu on initial activation only by completing the
following steps:
-
Using a terminal emulator such
as PuTTY or TeraTerm, connect to the switch using the serial port connection.
Be sure that your serial
connection is set properly:
- Baud rate: Baud rate:
115200
- Data bits: 8
- Stop bit: 1
-
Once the switch is powered on,
after seeing the "Boot Menu" screen, press the [spacebar] key
within 30 seconds.
-
Use the down-arrow key to
select Change the
switch OS to Fabric Engine, then select Enter.
The switch installs Fabric Engine, then resets. Once the NOS is selected, the "Boot Menu"
will only wait for 3 seconds before continuing.
To change the switch OS if you take
no action during the initial boot, see Change the Switch OS via the Startup Menu.
