Before You Install an Operating System
After powering on the system, the S4810-ON uses the U-Boot bootloader and 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 completing the boot process. Your system comes with
open networking installation environment (ONIE) installed.
During initial setup, the system boots to ONIE Install. ONIE Install boots with ONIE Discovery to the ONIE
console (ONIE:).
ONIE Service Discovery
ONIE attempts to locate the installer through a number of discovery methods, as shown. To download
and run an installer, the ONIE Service Discovery feature uses the first successful method found.
1.Passed from the boot loader.
2.Search locally attached storage devices for one of the ONIE default installer filenames (for example,
USB).
3.Exact the URLs from DHCPv4.
4.Inexact URLs based on DHCPv4 responses.
5.Query to IPv6 link-local neighbors using HTTP for an installer.
6.TFTP waterfall — from DHCPv4 option 66
Console Ports
31
Example of the ONIE Commands
If none of the ONIE Service Discovery methods are successful, you can disable is using the oniediscovery-stop command.
You can install an operating system manually from HTTP, FTP, or TFTP using the onie-nos-install
<URL> command.
The ONIE Install environment uses DHCP to assign an IP address to the management interface (eth0). If
that fails, it uses the default IP address 192.168.3.10/255.255.255.0.
To display the IP address, use the ifconfig eth0 command.
To assign an IP address to the management interface (eth0) and verify the network connectivity, use the
ifconfig eth0 <ip address> command.
Example of the ONIE ifconfig eth0 <ip address> command.
ONIE:/ # ifconfig eth0 10.11.53.33/16
Verify the network connection with ping.
ONIE:/ # ping 10.11.8.12

Troubleshooting
This chapter describes system diagnostics and troubleshooting. After running the diagnostic tools, your
system displays pass or fail test results. If all tests pass, the diagnostic tools exit normally. If a test fails,
each diagnostic tool offers a different result.
NOTE: The troubleshooting package includes a README file that lists the tools version and the
overall troubleshooting package version. For more information, refer to this README file.
NOTE: To download the Release Notes, go to http://www.dell.com/support.
This system uses the following troubleshooting tools:
•Power-On Self Test (POST) diagnostic — Automatically runs during the system power-on at the BIOS
or U-boot level. This tool tests for catastrophic hardware failures that prevent booting the system. If a
test fails, the system halts from booting further. The error code is saved in CMOS for the next boot.
There is no physical alarm indication.
•Extended diagnostic application (EDA) — Tests the hardware for system failures. This is an ondemand diagnostic tool. EDA verifies platform-specific hardware. There are options to perform
diagnostics from a Quick Test to a thorough Intrusive test. If a test fails, you can halt or continue
boot-up. If you select the halt-on failure option, EDA testing does not continue. If you do not
select the halt-on failure option, EDA testing continues. Test results are saved in a user-defined
storage area. There is no physical alarm indication.
NOTE: To test your hardware, Dell Networking strongly recommends using the EDA tool.
NOTE: EDA runs in the ONIE environment, not in the networking operating system. You must be at
the ONIE prompt to run EDA.
Command Line Interface Options
Each diagnostic tool has the following options:

Boot Processes
After the BIOS or U-Boot hardware verifications, POST tests run to verify the CPU and memory prior to
booting the system software.
After POST testing, there are three additional types of diagnostic tools you can use for testing your
system.
•Manual diagnostic boot process — To run additional testing, manually download and run the EDA
tool. The EDA tool reports and logs pass/fail results.
•ONIE with EDA — EDA is installed; you do not have to manually download the tool. Select the
diagnostic option at boot-up. You can run this tool without a management interface.
•Autorun EDA — EDA is installed; you do not have to manually download the tool. Select the diagnostic
option at boot-up. You can run this tool without a management interface. The system always
launches EDA in Quick Test mode to verify the hardware components before loading the software. If
there is a failure at boot-up, based on the EDA configuration, the software may or may not continue
the boot process.
POST
POST diagnostics verifies system memory before the software loads. Test configuration parameters are
saved in CMOS for the next boot-up.
EDA (Quick Test Mode)
Quick Test mode runs basic device access tests for the system hardware to verify that the device is active
and responding.
In Quick Test mode, the EDA tool quickly tests if the hardware components are accessible. It confirms
the components respond to read access and in some cases, simple write access. Tests are read-only and
non-destructive (except the memtool command, which does allow read/write operations).

Troubleshooting
Restoring the S4810–ON Factory Defaults
If you need to restore the S4810-ON factory defaults, reboot the system to ONIE Rescue using the run
onie-rescue or run onie-diag commands. If it is not possible to do this with the operating system
you installed, reboot the system and hit any key to stop autoboot.
CAUTION: Restoring factory defaults erases any installed operating system and requires a long
time to erase storage.
1.To restore the S4810–ON factory defaults, run this command.
U-boot mode
run onie_rescue OR run onie_diag
ONIE Rescue bypasses the installed operating system and boots the system into ONIE until you
reboot the system.
2.Press ENTER to activate the console.
Example of the ONIE-uninstall Command
After ONIE Rescue completes, the system resets and boots to the ONIE console.
ONIE:/ # onie-uninstall

Capture Support Data from ONIE
To capture support data from ONIE, use the following commands.
•To capture support data to the screen, use the ONIE:/ # dmesg command.
•To capture support data to the onie-support.tar.bz2 gzip file, use the ONIE:/ # onie-support <output_directory> command.
Downloading the Diagnostic Package
To download the diagnostic package, follow these steps.
1.Assign an ip address to the management interface and verify the network connectivity.

The EDA tool tests the platforms using the default_eda_script.cfg configuration file. This script dictates
how EDA runs and which test runs first or multiple times. Each line of the script is the actual prompt
command line including parameters.
pcitool
The PCI tool (pcitool) allows testing of the PCI devices.
In EDA Quick Test mode, pcitool completes a simple check on the PCI bus. The tool scans the PCI bus
for all drivers and functions and writes the configuration registers to the configuration file.
Example of the pcitool Output
Syntax: ./pcitool <option>
-h := show this help
scan := scan all PCI devices
all := scan and show all config data
test := test using the default PCI test
config file
show <bus# dev# func#> := show config data for a specific
bus:dev.func
read <bus# dev# func# offset count> := read 8-bit config register for
bus:dev.func
write <bus# dev# func# offset data> := write 8-bit config register for
bus:dev.func
The i2ctool allows testing of the devices on the i2c bus.
In EDA Quick Test mode, i2ctool scans busses and identifies all of the devices. If a device is behind a
MUX, i2ctool looks for devices through the MUX and, if present, a second-level MUX as well.
Example of the i2ctool Ouput
Syntax: ./i2ctool <option>
-h := show this help
test := test <user_i2c_file.cfg> the pre-programmed configuration
# ./i2ctool test userI2cFile.cfg

memtool
The memory tool (memtool) tests system memory.
EDA Quick Test mode only completes simple access (read) tests. You can use memtool to test static
memory areas, such as L2Cache mapped as SRAM or DRAM on a memory mapped device.
The memory configuration file consists of lines that describe a region of memory and the tests performed
on that memory region. Therefore, you can have multiple entries for a region of memory. All parameters
are separated by a : character. The following describes the configuration file parameters.
ParameterDescription
Region Name:The region name referred to in all output.
40
Troubleshooting
ParameterDescription
Start Address:The starting address for the region of memory in hexadecimal format (without the
preceding 0x). If the operating software is defining how to manage memory, this is
dynamic and you can use “-” for the start address and the memory uses malloc’d
from the available system memory.
Size:The size of the contiguous memory area (in bytes) in hexadecimal (without the
preceding 0x). If memory is dynamic, use “-” for size and the tests use the
maximum system memory.
Access:The letter that describes how this memory is accessed:
b — byte (8 bits)
h — halfword (16 bits)
w — word (32 bits)
d — double-word (64 bits)
Increment:How many bytes to increment to the next cell.
ECC:Describes if ECC is supported — 0 or 1.
Chunk:Describes how many kilo bytes (1024 bytes) are tested in one chunk. Tests multiple
chunks across the memory region.
Max Cache:The maximum cache size for this memory.
Cacheline:The size of a cacheline.
Iterations:The number of times to perform the tests.
Test:The collection of bits that tell which test to perform on this region. The tests are
performed in bit order. Some tests may not be performed due to time limitations
and the purpose of the test (for example, dim cache memory test which is time
consuming and destructive to data). To run an excluded test, you must specifically
request the test. For example, to run all tests including the dim cache memory test,
which is a 0x800, set the tests to fff.
A-1 — run all available tests.
Descriptive Device: The descriptive device (for example, SPD in the case of a dimm), is described in one
comma-separated field of four parameters: address, type, start, and bytes.
Device Path:The path to the device driver (for example, /dev/i2c-0 for a PD on the i2c bus 0).

These two fields list the start and end registers to read descriptive entries for the
device.
The programmable logic tool (pltool) verifies access to the complex programmable logic devices
(CPLD) and field programmable gate array (FPGA) and verifies versions.
The pltool generates its configuration file based on the platform database. The configuration file is
generated with a specific version of devices in order to detect manufacturing misleads. The database
holds all the versions and is updated when new versions are released.

Troubleshooting
The configuration file displays in tree format. The base is the chip that can have multiple registers and
may or may not have bit descriptions and bit collection information. Each parameter in the tree is on an
individual line separated by the “|” character.

The configuration file displays in tree format. The base is the chip that can have multiple registers and
may or may not have bit descriptions and bit collection information. Each parameter in the tree is on an
individual line separated by the “|” character.
The following describes the C-row configuration file tree output.
C-Row ParameterDescription
CThe row identifier.
TypeCPLD, FPGA, or TPM.
AddressThe address of the device. For CPLD on an I2C bus, this is an 8–bit address. For
PCI, this is the bus:dev:function in a packed 32–bit word, 8–bits each. For memory,
this is the address. LPC is unknown.
NameThe text name for the device.
Interfacei2c, pci, mem, io, or lpc.
BusFor devices on multiple busses, this indicates the bus number (for example, 0 for
i2c indicates /dev/i2c-0. For PCI, this holds the bus-dev-func in a 32–bit value with
each byte representing bus, device and functions in that order (for example,
0x020304 represents bus 02, device 03, and function 04).
Version RegThe register that contains the version for the device.
Version MaskThe bits to use to check the version.
The following describes the R-row configuration file tree output.
R-Row ParameterDescription
RThe register identifier.
AddressThe register addresses (offset) in the device.
Register SizeDescribes how many bits the register contains (for example, 8, 16, or 32).
Register MaskLists the valid bits in this register.
NameThe text name of this register.
Access PermAccess permissions:
RO — Read only
Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Issues for the S4810–ON System
To help you solve an issue, use the following troubleshooting solutions.
Table 3. Troubleshooting Issues and Solutions
ProblemDescription and Solution
•A tool indicates a device as failing, but I do not
believe this is correct.
•A tool indicates a device as passing, but I do not
believe this is correct.
I need to verify the version of a specific EDA tool.
The storagetool runs and indicates a failure, but
I do not believe this is correct.
•If the configuration file for the particular tool
was somehow corrupted, the results may be
non-deterministic or inaccurate. Download the
diagnostic package again; this ensures a clean
copy of the configuration files. Then, re-run the
tool.
•All versions of the tools loaded from the
diagnostic package are listed in the /diag/README file. When you run the edatool, the
output from the README file is output to the
console and the
file.
•Any updates to tools are in the form of a new
diagnostic package, which contains the
corresponding README file.
•To run tests, the storage tool requires that you
mount the storage device. To verify that there
are mounted devices, use the mount
command. If the device is mounted, the results
are indicating a problem with the physical
device.
