HP ProCurve 7000dl Series Basic Management And Configuration Manual page 63

The boot process begins when you power up the ProCurve Secure Router or
manually reload it. It proceeds as follows:
1. The router first loads the Secure Router OS boot code.
2. The router then searches compact flash for the SROS.BIZ file, which
contains the Secure Router OS.
• If the router finds the SROS.BIZ file in compact flash, it will load the
Secure Router OS and begin step 3.
• If a compact flash card is not installed or the SROS.BIZ file on the
card is missing or corrupted, the router searches for this file in
internal flash. If the router finds the SROS.BIZ file in internal flash, it
loads this SROS software and begins step 3.
• If the router does not find a valid SROS.BIZ file in either compact flash
or internal flash, the router boots up in bootstrap mode (as described
in "Bootstrap Mode Context" on page 1-67).
3. After the router finds a valid SROS.BIZ file (either in compact flash or
internal flash), it checks compact flash for the startup-config file, which
contains the saved configurations for the router.
• If the router finds the startup-config file in compact flash, it loads
this file.
• If the router does not find the startup-config in compact flash, it
searches for the startup-config file in internal flash. If it finds the
startup-config in flash, it loads this configuration.
• If the router does not find the startup-config file in either compact
flash or internal flash, the router boots in basic mode using the factory
default configuration settings.
