during the flash operation.

How to start the bootloader mode
A PC or PG must be connected to the serial interface of the IE Switch X-400/XR-300. Follow
the steps below to change to the bootloader mode:
1. Restart the IE switch, for example, by disconnecting and reconnecting the power.
2. While it is restarting, press any key on the PC or PG keyboard.
If there is no functional firmware on the IE Switch X-400/XR-300, the IE Switch X-400/XR-
300 automatically starts in a mode in which it can communicate with the integrated FTP
server. This is only possible if the IE Switch X-400/XR-300 has an IP address.
