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).

When the download process is complete, the switch automatically resets and the new software image initiates a self-test. The BayStack 450 switch Self-Test screen (see Figure 2-11 on page 2-15) briefly displays the results and is followed by the Nortel logo screen. Press [Ctrl]-Y from the Nortel logo screen to access the BayStack 450 switch main menu.

During the download process, the BayStack 450 switch is not operational. You can monitor the progress of the download process by observing the LED indications.

Table 3-29 describes the LED indications during the software download process.
