I bought a Force 10 S4810P off of eBay it it generally works fine for my 10g fiber network.

However, if I turn on more than a couple of SNMP libraries it becomes unstable and crashes. In troubleshooting via console cable a message pops up that a device partition has become corrupted and that I should back up my configuration, wipe and reinstall.

I have not seen a reference to this error anywhere online, nor have I found any guides on how to take this machine down to bare metal, then reinstall the OS, then reload my config.

Can anyone shed some light on this?
