Writing to Flash memory, 219 | Black Box 16 port, 24 port guide

Writing to FLASH memory

The Console Server will load the software into RAM, perform checks, and then write the software into FLASH memory. The writing to FLASH will take a few minutes and during this time the unit will not respond to user input. While the new software is being loaded into FLASH memory, the power and network LEDs on the front of the unit display a pattern.

WARNING

do not turn the power off/on while the unit is writing to FLASH memory

pattern of Console Server LEDs during load of software into FLASH

The Network LED flickers green if network traffic is identified on the network ports.

The pattern on each LED is repeated approximately once per second.

reboot When the software has finished downloading you must reboot the unit. To do this, type the command:

reboot
