Determining the boot image version running on the device
To determine the boot image running on a device, enter the show flash command at any level of the
CLI. The following shows an example output.
PowerConnect#show flash
Active Management Module (Slot 9):
Compressed Pri Code size = 3613675, Version 03.1.00aT3e3 (sxr03100a.bin)
Compressed Sec Code size = 2250218, Version 03.1.00aT3e1 (sxs03100a.bin)
Compressed BootROM Code size = 524288, Version 03.0.01T3e5
Code Flash Free Space = 9699328
Standby Management Module (Slot 10):
Compressed Pri Code size = 3613675, Version 03.1.00aT3e3 (sxr03100a.bin)
Compressed Sec Code size = 2250218, Version 03.1.00aT3e1 (sxs03100a.bin)
Compressed BootROM Code size = 524288, Version 03.0.01T3e5
Code Flash Free Space = 524288
The boot code version is shown in bold type.
Determining the image versions installed in flash memory
Enter the show flash command to display the boot and flash images installed on the device. An
example of the command output is shown in “Determining the boot image version running on the
device” on page 59:
• The “Compressed Pri Code size” line lists the flash code version installed in the primary flash
area.
• The “Compressed Sec Code size” line lists the flash code version installed in the secondary
flash area.
• The “Boot Monitor Image size” line lists the boot code version installed in flash memory. The
device does not have separate primary and secondary flash areas for the boot image. The
flash memory module contains only one boot image.
If TFTP was used to install the file on the Dell PowerConnect device, the path may also be displayed
with the filename in the show flash output. For example (path1/SXR05100.bin).
NOTE
To minimize the boot-monitor image size on PowerConnect devices, the ping and tftp
operations performed in the boot-monitor mode are restricted to copper ports on the
PowerConnect Chassis management modules and to copper ports on the PowerConnect
stackable switch combination copper and fiber ports. The fiber ports on these devices do not
have the ability to ping or tftp from the boot-monitor mode.
Flash image verification
The Flash Image Verification feature allows you to verify boot images based on hash codes, and to
generate hash codes where needed. This feature lets you select from three data integrity
verification algorithms:
• MD5 - Message Digest algorithm (RFC 1321)
• SHA1 - US Secure Hash Algorithm (RFC 3174)
• CRC - Cyclic Redundancy Checksum algorithm
