Loading Software Locally
The IntraChassis 9000 will always boot locally unless you set it to boot load
remotely. It would then download the new image code and reset to load locally.
1 Open the Bootstrap Configuration Menu by typing b in the
Configuration Menu.
2 Type a in the Bootstrap Configuration Menu if you need to
toggle the Boot Bank setting for the next boot. Typically,
you will want to set the boot bank to be the one on which
the latest version of the Image resides.
The IntraChassis 9000 is set to load software locally from its flash memory. This
occurs whenever the unit is powered on or reset.
Loading Software Remotely
To set the IntraChassis 9000 to download its software over the network from a
remote server, use the following procedure.
1 Open the Local Bootstrap Configuration Menu by typing b
in Configuration Menu.
2 Open the Remote Bootstrap Configuration Menu by typing
r in the Local Bootstrap Configuration Menu. The menu
