the PC card in slot 0, remove this card (place it in an antistatic bag and store it in a safe place), and insert
the new PC card (with the new.image file) in slot 0. Proceed to Step 5 and use the boot system flash
slot0:new.image command to designate the new.image file as the default boot helper image.
Step 1 Boot the router. By default, the boot.image file is used.
Step 2 Enable the router as follows:
Router> enable
Password:
Router#
Step 3 Insert the new Flash Disk or PC card in slot 1.
Step 4 Use the following command to copy the new.image file in slot 1 to the Flash Disk or PC card in slot 0,
only if there is enough memory space for the two images to coexist. If there is not enough memory space,
proceed to Step 5.
Router# copy slot1:new.image slot0:new.image
Note Use the disk0: and disk1: device names when using Flash Disks.
Step 5 Use the following series of commands to designate the new.image file (which is on the card in slot 0) as
the default boot helper image and reboot the router:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# no boot system
Router(config)# boot system flash slot0:new.image
Router(config)# Ctrl-Z
Router# copy running-config startup-config
Router# reload
When the system reloads, it will boot the new.image file from the card in slot 0.
