Appendix D – Recovering From a Failed Upgrade 
293
(Re)start the BOOTP server. 
Attach the SG unit's LAN port or switch directly to your PC using a crossover cable. 
Note 
If you are using an older LITE(2)/LITE(2)+, you may have to attach the unit's WAN port 
directly to your PC using a crossover cable for the first stage of the recovery procedure 
Accordingly, your BOOTP server requires an entry specifying the SG unit’s WAN port 
MAC address. 
Hold in the Reset/Erase button while applying power, keep it held in for 3 seconds. 
After 20 – 30 seconds, the SG unit loads the file from the DHCP/BOOTP server and the 
Heart Beat/H/B light begins flashing. 
Browse or telnet/ssh to your SG unit and perform a flash upgrade as per usual to 
reprogram its flash. 
Note 
If the SG unit is uncontactable, but the Heart Beat/H/B light is flashing, it may be due to 
bad configuration. If this is the case, hit the Reset/Erase button twice within 2 seconds to 
restore factory default configuration, and perform the network boot again.
