Press x to start downloading the new code file.
If using Windows HyperTerminal, click the “Transfer” button, and then click “Send File....” Select the
XModem Protocol and then use the “Browse” button to select the required firmware code file from your PC
system. The “Xmodem file send” window displays the progress of the download procedure.
The download file must be a binary software file for this switch.
After the file has been downloaded, you are prompted with “Update Image File:” to specify the type of code
file. Press R for runtime code, D for diagnostic code, or L for loader code.
If you select L for loader code, be sure the file is a valid loader code file for the switch. If you download an
invalid file, the switch will not be able to boot. Unless absolutely necessary, do not attempt to download
loader code files.
Specify a name for the downloaded code file. File names are case-sensitive, should be from 1 to 31
characters, not contain slashes (\ or /), and the leading letter of the file name should not be a period (.).
(Valid characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, “.”, “-”, “_”)
