Initializing the System and Downloading Software
The 7210 SAS-X ships with a bootloader image on the internal flash (cf1). It does not come with a
pre-installed TiMOS image or a BOF. When the system is powered up for the first time, the
bootloader will attempt an auto-init procedure (see the System Basics Guide for more
information). The auto-init can, however, be interrupted and the boot operation can be controlled
manually.
Booting a 7210 SAS-X in the Lab
Since there is no TiMOS image on the internal flash, the first boot must be performed from the
network. There are several ways to boot the 7210 SAS-X from the network. User has options to
use one of the front panel ports (refered to as uplinkA and uplinkB in the display output shown
below) or the out-of-band ethernet management port (refered to as eth-mgmt port in the display
output shown below) to boot the 7210 from the network. By default, the out-of-band ethernet
management port is disabled. User needs to enable it before using it for manual boot. The example
below shows how this can be done. The example described below shows how to boot the 7210
SAS-X using FTP servers and the manual boot process. For more information about booting your
7210 SAS-X, please refer to the System Basics Guide.
in the example below.
Additionally, you may want to store the TiMOS image on the internal flash if you want to boot
from the flash later.
