4.1 System Initialization

When the 7210 SAS device is powered on, the system executes the boot.tim file
(also known as the boot loader or the bootstrap image) from the file system located
on one of the storage media available on the 7210 SAS platform. The boot.tim file
is the image that reads and executes the system initialization commands configured
in the Boot Option File (BOF).
Note: Some 7210 SAS platforms (including 7210 SAS-Mxp, 7210 SAS-R6, 7210 SAS-R12,
7210 SAS-T, 7210 SAS-S 1/10GE, 7210 SAS-Sx 1/10GE, and 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE)

devices to access the boot.tim file to boot the system. Insert the device containing the
bootstrap image in the specified storage media location before powering on the system, as

system, and can be updated and checked using special CLI commands.
