7.2 BEFORE YOU INSTALL AN OS
After powering on the switch, it goes through a power-on self-test (POST).
POST runs every time 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 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.
