OS Download Steps. Use this procedure if you need to download a new
OS version to your Switch 2000. The procedure describes how to use a
personal computer (PC) to download the OS. (If you are using a UNIX
workstation, refer to the Note below.)
1. Copy the files from the disk into the DOS directory you will use for
downloading to the switch. (You can also download directly from the
disk.)
2. Download the software upgrade by using one of the following methods:
• TFTP download using a TFTP server and the Download OS
option in the Switch 2000 console interface: This is the recom-
mended download method if you have TFTP server access to the
Switch 2000. Refer to the documentation you received with your
Switch 2000. For this option, use the form
filename.swi
for the Remote File Name parameter. (The filename.fdd file
will automatically be used if an FDDI Module is already installed in
the Switch 2000.)
• Switch update utility: Refer to the instructions in the
update.txt file provided on the disk with the update utility.
3. If you are performing a first-time installation of an HP J3192C or HP
J3193B transceiver, go to the “Transceiver Installation Overview” on
page 4.
Note
To perform a TFTP download from a UNIX system, store the uncompressed
filename.swi (and filename.fdd if an FDDI Module is installed in the
Switch 2000) in the UNIX TFTP directory, then perform the TFTP download
as described in Step 2, above. If your TFTP server is a UNIX system, ensure
that the case (upper or lower) that you specify for the filename in the Switch
2000 Download OS screen is the same case as the OS filenames in the TFTP
server.
