Upgrading Firmware via the Serial Port

You can upgrade system firmware by connecting your computer to the serial p ort on

the switch, and using a console interface package that supports the XModem

protocol. (See “Required Connections” on page 1-1.)

1. Restart the system by using the Restart System command; or by pulling out the

power cord to reset the power, waiting five seconds, and plugging it back in.

2. When the system initialization screen appears as shown below, press “D” to

download system firmware, and then indicate the code type (<1> Runtime image

or <2> POST image).

3. Change your baud rate to 115200 bps, and press Enter to enable download.

From the terminal emulation program, select the file you want to download, set

the protocol to XModem, and then initialize downloading.

Notes: 1. If you use Windows HyperTerminal, disconnect , set the baud rate, and

reconnect .

2. The download file must be the correct binary file for the switch; otherwise the

agent will not accept it.

4. After the file has been downloaded, the console screen will displ ay information

similar to that shown below. Press Enter to download to permanent memory,

change the baudrate back to 9600, press Enter to start decompressing the new

firmware, and then press Enter to open the Logon sc reen.
