This method may be used for upgrading your switch to SmartFabric OS10 if:
- The switch is running Dell OS9, and the desire is to update to SmartFabric OS10.
- The switch is running a non-Dell operating system, and the desire is to update to SmartFabric OS10.
This is not the recommended method for updating a switch from one version of SmartFabric OS10 to another version of SmartFabric OS10 since it will erase any existing configuration. See the Upgrade SmartFabric OS10 to a current version using SmartFabric OS10 commands section for steps in upgrading SmartFabric OS10 with new versions of SmartFabric OS10.
Perform the following steps to uninstall the current operating system, and then upgrade to SmartFabric OS10. Uninstalling the existing operating system is recommended, but not required.
