Startup Menu Procedures

The Startup menu can be entered when booting the device. There is a two second window of time to enter the
Startup Menu immediately after the POST test. The menu can be accessed directly from a terminal connected to
the console port. The Startup menu procedures can be done using the ASCII terminal or Windows HyperTerminal.
The software download procedure is performed when a new version must be downloaded to replace corrupted
files, update or upgrade the system software. To download software from the Startup menu:
To enter the Startup menu:
1. Power off your computer and Switch.
2. Connect the provided null modem cable from the COM port on your computer to the Console port on the
Switch.
3. Power on your computer and launch HyperTerminal, follow the instructions in Chapter 4: Using the Console
Interface for Configuration to configure HyperTerminal to connect to the Switch.

5. When the POST done message appears, press and hold Ctrl and press the U key to access the Xmodem
interface.

target switch.
8. After the file has been downloaded, you are prompted with "Update Image File:" to specify the type of code
file. Press <R> for runtime code, <D> for diagnostic code, or,<L> for loader code.
