The HP Download Manager is included with HP TopTools and enables you to initiate a firmware (OS) download over the network to the switch. This capability assumes that the switch is properly connected to the network and has been discovered by HP TopTools. For further information, refer to the documentation and online Help provided with HP TopTools.

If you have two or more Switch 212Ms and/or Switch 224Ms networked together, you can download the OS software from one switch to another by using the Download OS feature in the switch console interface. (The Switch 212M and the Switch 224M use the same OS.)
