Once you have downloaded the software, use the Browse button to locate the file on your computer, and then click on Apply.
You may need to change the file type in the dialog box displayed by your web browser to *.* to be able to see the file.
The file will be copied to the Switch, and once this has completed, the Switch will restart. Although the upgrade process has been designed to preserve your configuration settings, 3Com recommends that you make a backup of the configuration beforehand, in case the upgrade process fails for any reason (for example, the connection between the computer and the Switch is lost while the new software is being copied to the Switch).
The upgrade procedure can take a few minutes, and is complete when the progress bar has finished running and the Power LED has stopped flashing and is permanently green. Make sure that you do not interrupt power to the Switch during the upgrade procedure; if you do, the software may be corrupted and the Switch may not start up properly afterwards. If the Power LED continues to flash after a failed upgrade, refer to “Problem Solv- ing” on page 41.
