Downloading Software
Observe the following when downloading the OS software to the
Switch 2000:
– filename.swi and filename.fdd must be in the same direc-
tory.
– filename must be the same for both files (that is, the files must
be the .swi and .fdd file pair from the disk or from the self-
extracting j3100a.exe file.
For the above reasons, do not place the filename.swi and file-
name.fdd in separate directories, and do not rename them.
Note The latest version of the Switch 2000 OS supports all Switch 2000 Modules as
of November 1, 1996. If you are installing more than one type of Switch 2000
module and/or if it is necessary to download a new version of the Switch 2000
OS, use the latest version available. To support the 100Base-T Module, use OS
version A.02.50 or later. The Switch 2000 Ethernet and 100VG Modules operate
with any version of Switch 2000 OS software. For more on software compat-
ibility, see the readme.txt file included on the disk and in the compressed,
self-extracting j3100a.exe file from the electronic sources mentioned
above.
How To Download the OS
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 on
page 5.) The files used in this procedure are described under “Software
Sources and Content” on page 3.
1. Do one of the following:
• If the source of your OS files is the disk shipped with the
100Base-T Module, copy the files from the disk into the DOS directory
you will use for downloading to the switch. Then go to step 2 on the
next page.
• If the source of your OS files is the self-extracting j3100a.exe file
from an electronic source (see “Software Sources and Content” on
page 3):
i. Copy the j3100a.exe file into the DOS directory you will use
for downloading to the switch.
ii. Run the file to decompress and extract its contents.
