Downloading an Operating System

Using the Zmodem to Download the OS File

This procedure assumes that the following items have been done:

■The PC is serially connected to the Switch Management Module Console RS-232 port.

■The PC can support the Zmodem file transfer protocol. This protocol is supported by the terminal emulator on Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95, and on communication programs such as Procomm and Reflections.

■The OS software to download has been stored in a file on the PC. (The OS file is typically available from HP’s electronic services—refer to the perforated card at the front of this manual.)

1.From the switch console Main Menu, select Advanced Commands

2. At the command prompt, enter update (This command may not be listed in the Advanced Commands help listing.)

3.You will see a message asking if you want to overwrite the current OS. Enter [Y], for yes, to proceed. You should then see the message

Jumping to console code ...

4.At the Switch console> prompt, enter do (for “download”).

5.You will then see a message about invoking the console download utility and a prompt asking if you wish to continue. Enter [Y], for yes, to proceed.

6.You will then see the following message:

Please start ZMODEM download from terminal emulator,

and ignore any characters that may appear on the next line.

7.With whatever terminal emulation program you are using on your PC, select the Zmodem file transfer method and send the OS file (for example, j317801.cmp ) as a binary file to the Switch Management Module.

Your terminal emulation program should provide information on the success of the transfer and an indication of when it is completed.

8.When the OS file transfer completes, the switch will automatically reboot and activate the new OS.
