the reset.
5. When the stack has reloaded, check the running firmware version using the show version
command. Check that all stack members have joined the stack using the show stack
command. Members that failed to update may be recovered using the manual update
procedure described in the following section.
6. If successful, disable firmware synchronization on the stack and save the running configuration.

Manual Update

The administrator can perform firmware updates on the stack by using the CLI or the Web interface.
From the CLI, use the copy ftp command, which uses the FTP protocol for file transfer. To update
the firmware by using the Web interface, use the options available on the System > File Management
> File Download from Server page.
NOTE: When stacked, the PC7000 switches require that the same version of firmware be installed on
every switch member.
When connected in stack, the copy ftp or copy tftp commands will distribute the downloaded
image to all the connected units of the stack.
In the following output, the image with a file name of image.stk is downloaded from the FTP server
with an IP address of 10.27.64.141.
