Download Interruptions. In most cases, if a power failure or other cause
interrupts a flash image download, the switch reboots with the image previ­
ously stored in primary flash. In the unlikely event that the primary image is
corrupted, as a result of an interruption, the switch will reboot from secondary
flash and you can either copy the secondary image into primary or download
another image to primary from an external source. See Appendix A, "File
Transfers".
