180 Edge Switch 2/24 Service Manual

To download a firmware version to a switch:

1. Notify the customer that a firmware version is to be downloaded to the switch.

The switch resets during the firmware download, causing Fibre Channel links

to momentarily drop and attached devices to log out and log back in. Data

frames lost during switch reset must be retransmitted.

2. Open the HAFM application. The View All - HAFM 8 main window displays.

3. Before downloading firmware version XX.YY.ZZ to a switch, ensure version

XX.YY.ZZ or higher of the HAFM application is running on the HAFM

appliance.

a. Choose Help > About. The About dialog box displays the HAFM

application version. Click OK to close the dialog box.

b. If required, install the correct version of the HAFM application (“Install or

Upgrade Software” on page 190).

to be downloaded. The Hardware View for the selected switch displays.

data collection procedure (

Firmware confirmation box displays.

8. Click Yes. The Send Firmware dialog box displays.

at the top of the dialog box followed by a Sending Files message. This

message remains for a few moments as a progress bar travels across the dialog

box to show percent completion of the download. As the download
