Use the TFTP Download menu to load software updates to permanent flash ROM in the switch. The download file should be a 3 binary file or image file; otherwise the agent will not accept it.

After downloading the new software, the agent will automatically restart itself. Parameters shown on this screen are indicated in the following figure and table.
