Upgrading Module Software

The ATM, FDDI, and TR-in-FE Modules have their own software which is upgraded independently of the Switch software. If you own one of these modules, you will need to upgrade the software.

To perform a software upgrade for a module, follow the steps in “Upgrading Software” above, except in Step 3 select ATM Module, FDDI Module, or TR-in-FE Module in the Destination ﬁeld.
