downloading is completed, the remaining procedure is the same as that in the case of
loading using FTP.

7.4 Loading Boot ROM and Host Software to the S7506R

The H3C S7506R is equipped with two SRPUs. Slots 0 and 1 are for SRPUs and the
rest slots are for LPUs. Thus, loading Boot ROM and host software to the S7506R
involves loading Boot ROM and host software to the active and standby SRPUs, and
loading Boot ROM to LPUs.
The following two loading approaches are available on the S7506R:

Loading through command lines

Loading through the BOOT menu
However, you can load a Boot ROM to LPUs only through command lines.
When loading a Boot ROM or host software, note that:
To keep consistent the software versions of the active SRPU, standby SRPU, and
LPUs, use the same approach (either command lines or BOOT menu) to load the
Boot ROM or host software to the active and standby SRPUs.
If the current Boot ROM matches the host software to be loaded, you do not need
to load the Boot ROM to the active SRPU, standby SRPU, and LPUs.
Note:
Loading through command lines affects switch services less significantly than loading
through the BOOT menu. You are recommended to load a Boot ROM or host software
through command lines.
7.4.1 Loading Through Command Lines
Assume that:
The target Boot ROM is BTM530.btm.
The primary boot file is S7506R002.app and the host software running on the
switch is S7506R001.app.
The active SRPU is inserted in slot 0, the standby SRPU in slot 1, and an LPU in
slot 3.
I. Loading using FTP
Run the FTP Server on the local computer. Check whether a username, a password,
and the correct file directory have been configured. Log in to the switch through Telnet
or through the console port and transfer host software to the switch using FTP.
