Chapter 1 Cisco Edge 340 Series Overview
System Installation and Upgrade
The Cisco Edge 340 Series supports the following installation and upgrade types:
•
•
•
USB Mode Installation and Upgrade
The Cisco Edge 340 Series software releases a self-extract installer. The file name is
Cisco-Edge-version-i386-DVD.bin. It is an executive file that helps you to perform the installation
automatically. When you execute the self-extract installer, the installation-related files are extracted to
the hard drive of the Cisco Edge 340 Series, and a livecd is created in the internal USB. The system then
boots from the internal USB (also known as the factory mode) and performs the installation
automatically.
If the internal USB has already been created as a livecd, you can press the factory mode pinhole on the
front panel of the Cisco Edge 340 Series to enter the factory mode and perform the installation procedure
automatically.
Usually, the internal USB is created as a livecd in the factory. Executing the self-extract installer will
Note
overwrite the original livecd and create a new one.
Remote Upgrade
You can perform a remote upgrade for the Cisco Edge 340 Series using the web GUI if you have the
address to download the self-extract installer. When you choose to perform the remove upgrade, the
system will automatically download the self-extract-installer from the URL that you provide and execute
the self-extract-installer to finish the installation.
BIOS Upgrade
BIOS upgrade can only be performed by manually installing the package and executing the commands
in the Linux environment. BIOS is a critical part of the system, and there is no software recovery method
if it crashes. To ensure successful BIOS upgrade, make sure that the external power supply is always
connected, and do not perform any power cycle action during the upgrade process.
