Downloading the New OS
This procedure describes how to use a personal computer (PC) to download
the OS. If you are using a UNIX workstation, refer to the Note at the bottom
of this page.
1.
Do one of the following:
•
If the source of your OS file is the disk shipped with the Gigabit-LX
or 100/1000Base-T Module, copy the file from the disk into the PC
directory you will use for downloading to the switch, or you can
download it directly from the floppy disk. Go on to step 2.
•
If the source of your OS files is the self-extracting file from an
electronic source (for example, the web), do the following:
a.
Copy the self-extracting file into the directory you will use for
downloading to the switch.
b. Execute the file to decompress and extract its contents.
c.
Go on to step 2.
2.
Download the software upgrade to your HP ProCurve switch.
The download is executed from the switch console, by selecting Download
OS from the console Main Menu.
On the Download OS screen, select the file transfer method, TFTP or
Xmodem. Then, for the Remote File Name parameter, use the form:
filename.swi (for example, C_07_27.swi)
For details on the download process, see the Management and Configu-
ration Guide you received with your switch.
3.
When the download is complete, proceed to "Installing the Module in an
Unused Slot" on page 6.
TFTP Download from UNIX: To perform a TFTP download from a UNIX
system, store the OS file, filename.swi, in the UNIX TFTP directory, then
perform the TFTP download as described in the switch Management and
Configuration Guide.
