You can use the SANbox Manager application or the CLI to install new firmware:
 The SANbox Manager application loads and unpacks the firmware image
file in one operation. Refer to ”Using SANbox Manager to Install Firmware”
on page 4-19.
 When using the CLI on a workstation that has an FTP server, you can open
a Telnet session and load and unpack the firmware image file using the CLI
Image command. Refer to ”Using the CLI to Install Firmware” on page 4-19.
 When using the CLI on a workstation without an FTP server, you must open
an FTP session through the switch to load the image file, then open a Telnet
session to unpack it with the CLI Image command. Refer to ”Using FTP and
the CLI to Install Firmware” on page 4-20.

the new firmware. During a non-disruptive activation, all Logged-In LEDs are
