If you wish to run another network operating system (NOS), you can uninstall the
Lenovo Network OS by using the ONIE Uninstall mode. For more details, see

Notes:
If the switch does not have ONIE installed, you must first install a ONIE FoD
license key and then set up the software on the networking device. For more

If you are connected to the switch through the mini-USB serial console port,
once you have uninstalled the Lenovo Network OS you must configure the default
baud rate from 9,600 bps to 115,200 bps.
