Download The New Os Software - HP ProCurve 2424M Installation Manual

Installing the Module
1. Do one of the following:
• If the source of your software file is the disk shipped with the Gigabit Stacking Module, copy
the file from the disk into the PC directory you will use for downloading to the switch, or
you can download it directly from the floppy disk. Go on to step 2.
• If the source of your software file is the self-extracting file from the HP ProCurve web page
(http://www.hp.com/go/procurve), do the following:
a. Copy the self-extracting file into the directory you will use for downloading to the switch.
b. Execute the file to decompress and extract its contents.
2. Download the software upgrade to your HP ProCurve Switch 2424M. The download is executed
from the switch console, by selecting Download OS from the console Main Menu.
a. On the Download OS screen, select the file transfer method, TFTP or Xmodem:
– Use the TFTP method to transfer the file over the network. The OS file must be copied
to a TFTP server, and the switch must have been configured with an IP address and must
have network access to the TFTP server.
– Use the Xmodem method to transfer the file serially (the network does not need to be
operating). The OS file must be copied to a PC that can be serially connected to the switch
console port (use the console cable supplied with the switch). The PC must have a
terminal program that supports the Xmodem transfer protocol.
b. Then, for the Remote File Name parameter, use the form:
filename .swi (for example, C_06_06.swi)
3. When the download is complete, proceed to "2. Install Transceivers Into the Module" on page 5.
