Local Boot ROM and Software Loading
If your terminal is directly connected to the Console port of the switch, you can load the Boot ROM and
host software locally.
Before loading the software, make sure that your terminal is correctly connected to the switch.
The loading process of the Boot ROM software is the same as that of the host software, except that
during the former process, you should press "6" or <Ctrl+U> and <Enter> after entering the BOOT
menu and the system gives different prompts. The following text mainly describes the Boot ROM
loading process.
