Upgrading Firmware via the Serial Port

You can upgrade system firmware by connecting your computer to
the serial port on the switch, and using a console interface
package that supports the XModem protocol. (See "Required
Connections" on page 1-2.)
1. Restart the system by using the Restart System command or
resetting the power by pulling out the power cord, waiting five
seconds, and plugging it back in.
2. When the system initialization screen appears as shown below,
press "D" to download system firmware, and then indicate the
code type (1: Runtime, 2: POST, 3: Mainboard).
