The Software Download screen contains the fields listed in Table 3-15.
LED Indications During the Download Process
The software download feature is an automated process that, once initiated, runs
to completion without user intervention. The download process erases the
contents of flash memory and replaces it with a new image. Because the download
process erases the contents of flash memory, it is important that the download
process is not interrupted once it is initiated. After the software download process
is complete, the switch is automatically reset and the new software image initiates
self-test. The self-test results are briefly displayed in the BayStack 350T Self-Test
screen, followed by the CI screens.
During the download process, the BayStack 350T switch is nonfunctional. You
can monitor the progress of the software download process by observing the
BayStack 350T LED indicators.
