Download & Reboot

Click this radio button if you want the switch to download the new

 

firmware and then reboot the switch. The new firmware becomes

 

operable when the switch is rebooted. You will need to reload the Applet

performance, but does not corrupt the data on the disk drives attached to

 

the switch. It does, however, erase any statistics and other management

 

data that has been collected.
