Abort Boot Code Update

Use option 6 to abort a boot code update initiated by the user. A user can initiate a boot code update by
selecting option 7 on the boot menu or by entering a CLI command. This sets a flag and causes the
system to reboot. When the boot code starts, the system reads the flag and determines that a boot code
update has been requested, and pauses for user response. The boot code update proceeds if there is no
user response within 10 seconds. During that interval, the user can enter the boot menu and select
option 6 to cancel the boot code update and continue rebooting.

Update Boot Code

Use option 7 to update the boot code in the flash memory. This option is only valid after loading new
boot code using Boot Menu option 4. User action is confirmed with a Y/N question before executing the
command.
