LED Indications during the download process
The software download process automatically completes without user intervention. The process erases the contents of flash memory and replaces it with a new software image. Be careful not to interrupt the download process until after it runs to completion (the process can take up to 10 minutes, depending on network conditions).
Note: If problems occur during the software download process, the Software Download screen displays error codes that define the problem. The error codes are described in Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting,” on page 173.
Configuration File Download/Upload screen
The Configuration File Download/Upload screen (Figure 77) allows you to store your switch/stack configuration parameters on a TFTP server.
