Updating the Runtime Component

NOTE: The runtime component can be updated using either the RJ-11–to–serial cable
or the 10/100/1000 BASE-T uplink ports. It is recommended that the runtime
component is updated using the uplink ports connected to the remote system (TFTP
server). See your network switch module documentation for more information about
updating the switch module firmware.
Perform the following steps to update the switch module's firmware using the
R-J11–to–serial cable.
With the RJ-11–to–serial cable connected to the network switch module, reset the
1
switch module by unplugging the switch module and then reinserting it.
During POST, press <Esc> to enter the diagnostic mode.
