Install Firmware
Using McDATA Embedded Web Server or McDATA Element Manager to Install Firmware
To install firmware using McDATA Embedded Web Server or McDATA
Element Manager, do the following:
1. In the faceplate display, open the Switch menu and select Load Firmware.
2. In the Firmware Upload window, click the Select button to browse and
select the firmware file to be uploaded.
3. Click the Start button to begin the firmware load process. You will be
shown a message warning you that the switch will be reset to activate the
firmware.
4. Click the OK button to continue firmware installation or click the Cancel
button to cancel the firmware installation. The switch will attempt a hot
reset, if possible, to activate the firmware without disrupting data traffic.
During a non-disruptive activation, all Logged-In LEDs are extinguished
for several seconds. If a non-disruptive activation is not possible, the
application gives you the opportunity to reset the switch module and
perform a disruptive activation.
