TiaB is the most convenient and **recommended option for beginners who would like to quickly get some hands on experience** of Trellis.
-Hardware Requirements
-=====================
-Following is a list of hardware that people from the ONF community have tested over time in lab trials.

-1G/10G models (with 40G uplinks)
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- - OCP Accepted™ EdgeCore AS5712-54X

-Commercially supported models
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Models listed here are not supported by ONF community. You should contact switch vendor for commercial support.
- - OCP Accepted™ EdgeCore AS5912-54X
-
-
-Servers
--------
-ONOS can be run on any x86 servers, with the following notes on memory and CPU allocation:
-
- - Memory
- The memory requirement highly depends on the deployment scale.
- In general, we suggest that each ONOS instance should get **at least 16G RAM**.
- For production deployment at scale, we will definitely need not only more memory but also some fine tuning on JVM garbage collection mechanism.
- - CPU
- There are not much requirement on CPU.
- In practice, we avoid running other CPU intensive processes/containers/VMs on the same physical machine where ONOS runs.

+The switches listed in the :doc:`Supported Hardware <supported-hardware>` are shipped with Open Networking Install Environment (ONIE) boot loader.
After booting up, we should see the ONIE prompt from console.
Here we assume that the management port on the switch already has Internet access. (via DHCP)

+ONOS can be run on any x86 servers, with the following notes on CPU and memory allocation **per ONOS instance**:
+
+ - CPU (Recommended: **32 cores**)
+ There are not much requirement on CPU.
+ In practice, we avoid running other CPU intensive processes/containers/VMs on the same physical machine where ONOS runs.
+
+ - Memory (Recommended: **65G RAM**)
+ The memory requirement highly depends on the deployment scale.
+ In general, we suggest that each ONOS instance should get **at least 16G RAM**.
+ For production deployment at scale, we will definitely need not only more memory but also some fine tuning on JVM garbage collection mechanism.
