6 At the Password prompt, enter your password. The field does not
display the characters that you enter.
After you enter your password, the system begins to retrieve the file from
the host device.
When the installation is complete, the system returns you to the top level
of the Administration Console.
CAUTION: If, for any reason, the installation stops (that is, if you do not
see activity for more than 2 minutes), do not reboot the system. Instead,
press Ctrl+C. After the system displays some trace information, it prompts
you for a login ID and password. Log in and try the installation again.

7 To activate the newly loaded diagnostic software, reboot the system by
entering the following command from the top level of the Administration
Console:
system reboot
CAUTION: You must reboot the system after you load the diagnostic
software but before you load the system software. If you do not reboot
the system at this point, then a continuous system reboot occurs later in
the installation process.
After the reboot, the system retains the user-configurable nonvolatile
data.
8 Log in to the system and proceed to "Installing the System Software"
next.
