Before you install an OS system

After powering on the S6000-ON system, it goes through a power-on self-test (POST).
POST runs every time the switch is initialized and checks hardware components to determine if the switch is fully operational before
booting. After POST, the system uses the Grub bootloader.
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 executes automatically in the operating system.
