To set the boot variable, use the boot system image: command in the Admin
context from the configuration mode. The syntax for this command is:
boot system image:image_name

You can set up to two images through the boot system command. If the first image
fails, the ACE tries the second image.
For example, to set the boot variable with the c4710ace-t1k9-mz.A1_7.bin image,
enter:
host1/Admin(config)# boot system image:c4710ace-t1k9-mz.A1_7.bin
