LED Indications During the Download Process

The software download process is automated so that it runs to completion without user intervention. The download process erases the contents of flash memory and replaces it with a new software image; therefore, it is important that the download process not be interrupted once initiated. When the download process is complete, the switch is reset automatically and the new software image initiates a self-test.

The self-test results are displayed briefly in the BayStack 350 switch Self-Test screen, which is followed by the console interface screens.

During the download process, the BayStack 350 switch is not operational. You can monitor the progress of the download process by observing the LED indications.
