HP ProCurve 3500yl Release Notes page 15

Syntax: copy xmodem flash [< primary | secondary >]
1. To reduce the download time, you may want to increase the baud rate in your terminal emulator
and in the switch to a value such as 115200 bits per second. (The baud rate must be the same
in both devices.) For example, to change the baud rate in the switch to 115200, execute this
command:
ProCurve(config)# console baud-rate 115200
(If you use this option, be sure to set your terminal emulator to the same baud rate.)
Changing the console baud-rate requires saving to the Startup Config with the "write memory"
command. Alternatively, you can logout of the switch and change your terminal emulator speed
and allow the switch to AutoDetect your new higher baud rate (i.e. 115200 bps)
2. Execute the following command in the CLI:
ProCurve # copy xmodem flash primary
The primary OS image will be deleted. continue [y/n]? Y
Press 'Enter' and start XMODEM on your host...
3. Execute the terminal emulator commands to begin the Xmodem transfer. For example, using
HyperTerminal:
a. Click on Transfer, then Send File.
b. Type the file path and name in the Filename field.
In the Protocol field, select Xmodem.
c.
d. Click on the Send button.
The download can take several minutes, depending on the baud rate used in the transfer.
4. If you increased the baud rate on the switch
previous setting. (ProCurve recommends a baud rate of 9600 bits per second for most applica-
tions.) Remember to return your terminal emulator to the same baud rate as the switch.)
5. Use the show flash command to verify that the new software version is in the expected flash
area (primary or secondary)
6. Reboot the switch from the flash area that holds the new software (primary or secondary).
After the switch reboots, it displays the CLI or Main Menu, depending on the Logon Default setting
last configured in the menu's Switch Setup screen.
