Update POST Code
This procedure shows you how to upgrade POST code from a file or TFTP.
Typically, POST upgrades are not required and should only be done if the
firmware release notes indicate that this step is required.
The preferred method is to use your web browser and download the file
onto your PC. TFTP, however, is often used in UNIX environments, so
TFTP is supported as well.

• You have already downloaded the firmware file from the web site.
• TFTP is running (if you are using the TFTP option).
Procedure

URL window.
2. Log in to the device server as root. The default password is dbps.
