Upgrade Instructions

The following upgrades are available for the Dell EMC Networking operating system (OS) on S3100 series switches:

1. Upgrade the Dell EMC Networking OS image on S3100 series switches.

2. Upgrade the UBoot from Dell EMC Networking OS.

3. Upgrade the CPLD image.

4. Upgrade the PoE controller.

Upgrading the Operating Software Image

Upgrade the OS image on S3100 series switches by following the procedure in this section.

NOTE: The configurations shown here are examples only and are not intended to duplicate any real system or network.

NOTE: If you installed the Open Automation (OA) package on the S3100 series switch, Dell EMC Networking strongly

recommends uninstalling the OA package before you upgrade the Dell EMC Networking OS image. Then reinstall a

compatible OA package. In this way, the system installs enhancements and uninstalls incompatible OA packages after the

Dell EMC Networking OS upgrade.

NOTE: Dell EMC Networking strongly recommends using the Management Interface to upgrade the new image in both BMP

mode and the Upgrade System CLI. Using front-end ports takes more time (approximately 25 minutes) to download and

install new image due to the large file size.

NOTE: If you are using bare metal provisioning (BMP), see the Bare Metal Provisioning chapter in the Open Automation

Guide.

1. Save the running configuration on the switch.

EXEC Privilege mode

write memory

2. Back up your startup configuration to a secure location (for example, an FTP server as shown here).
