10) a: Ignore software check
When upgrading software, make sure that you are using the correct software version. If
the upgrade still fails and the system displays "invalid version" in this case, you can use
this option. It allows the system to upgrade software without checking the version of
extended Boot ROM image segment, Boot ROM image, and application image for
backward compatibility. This is a one-time operation, however; the router checks
version again at reboot.
11) b: Start application program (from Flash memory)
Select option a to load the Comware application image directly. This does not require a
reboot.
12) c: Format the CF card
