Introduction

Perform a serial download of the switch operating system firmware, or boot code firmware if upgrading a switch directly from any existing OS or boot code images.

This procedure requires:

•A computer running terminal emulation software

•A standard null modem cable with a female DB-9 connector

•A switch OS firmware and/or boot code images

Serial upgrade of boot code firmware image procedure

To perform a serial upgrade of the switch boot code firmware image, usually named GbE2c-1-

10G_b_100.bin:

1.Using the null modem, connect the console port of the switch to the serial port of a PC that supports XModem/1K XModem.

2.Start HyperTerminal (part of Microsoft Windows) or equivalent terminal emulation application (depending on the computer operating system), and set the parameters for the terminal emulation console:

Parameter	Value

Baud rate	9600

Date bits	8

Parity	None

Stop bits	1

Flow control	None

3.Power on the switch.
