Caution Be extraordinarily careful when upgrading a Flash BIOS. Make absolutely sure that the BIOS upgrade
patch is the exact one required. If you apply the wrong patch, you can render the system unbootable,
making it difficult or impossible to recover even by reapplying the proper patch.
Caution Because a failed Flash BIOS update can have dire results, never update a Flash BIOS without first
connecting the system to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
To remotely install a BIOS update file, use the copy ftp install EXEC command as follows:
WAE# copy ftp install ftp-server remote_file_dir 7326_bios.bin
After the BIOS update file is copied to your system, use the reload EXEC command to reboot as follows:
WAE# reload
The new BIOS takes effect after the system reboots.
Examples The following example shows how to copy an image file from an FTP server and install the file on the
