Important Considerations

The CoreBuilder 3500 uses the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) or File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to transfer the files to the host, depending on the setting for the system fileTransfer option. The SuperStack II Switch 3900, Switch 9300, and the CoreBuilder 9400 use TFTP to transfer files.

Before you attempt to install the system software, make sure that you have extended memory installed on your system.

You can load the system software into flash memory while the system is operating. The system does not have to be powered down.

Make sure that the FTP server or TFTP server software is running on the device from which you are installing the software.

Make sure that you have defined an IP address on your system.

Some FTP servers or TFTP servers do not accept the full pathname. If this is true on your server, enter the image filename only.

On the CoreBuilder 3500, if you are using the FTP file transfer protocol, you must enter a login name and password.
