H3C LSW1FC4P0 Interface Card for S5820X-28C Ethernet Switches Installation Manual

After upgrading firmware that includes changes to QuickTools, an

open QuickTools session may indicate that the firmware is not

supported. This means the new firmware is not supported by the

previous QuickTools version. To correct this, close the QuickTools

session and the browser window, then open a new QuickTools

session.

Using QuickTools to Install Firmware

To install firmware using QuickTools, do the following:

1. In the faceplate display, open the Switch menu and select Load

Firmware.

2. In the Firmware Upload dialog, click Browse to browse and

select the firmware file to be uploaded.

3. Click Start to begin the firmware load process. A message will

warn you that the switch will be reset to activate the firmware.

4. QuickTools prompts you to activate the new firmware using a

hot (non-disruptive) reset, if possible. Click OK to reset the

switch and activate the new firmware.

Using the CLI to Install Firmware

The method you choose to install firmware using the CLI depends

on the type of firmware activation you want.

• For a disruptive activation, enter the Firmware Install or Image

Install command to download the firmware image file from an

FTP or TFTP server, unpack it, and activate it in one step.

• For a non-disruptive activation, enter the Image Fetch

command to download the firmware image file from an FTP or

TFTP server. Enter the Image Unpack command to unpack the

image file, then enter the Hotreset command to perform a non-

disruptive activation.
