The download algorithm verifies that the image is appropriate for the switch model and that enough
DRAM is present, or it aborts the process and reports an error. If you specify the /overwrite option, the
download algorithm removes the existing image on the flash device, whether or not it is the same as the
new one, downloads the new image, and then reloads the software.
