Switch Engine is the default operating system for the 5720 Series. You can change the switch OS from
the Bootloader menu on initial activation only by completing the following steps:
1. Use a terminal emulator such as PuTTY or TeraTerm to connect to the switch through the serial port
connection.
You can also connect to the switch via telnet or SSH. Be sure that your serial connection is set
properly:
• Baud rate: Baud rate: 115200
• Data bits: 8
• Stop bit: 1
2. When the switch is powered on, after seeing the "5720 Boot Menu" screen, press the [spacebar] key
within 30 seconds.
3. Use the down-arrow key to select Change the switch OS to Fabric Engine, then select
Enter.
The switch will install Fabric Engine, then reset. Once the NOS is selected, the "5720 Boot Menu" will
only wait for 3 seconds before continuing.
To change the switch OS if you take no action during the initial boot, see Change the Switch OS via the
Startup Menu on page 70.
