Step 1 Connect a PC with terminal-emulation software supporting the XMODEM protocol to the switch console port. Step 2 Set the line speed on the emulation software to 9600 baud. Step 3 Unplug the power cord from the back of the switch. Step 4 Press and hold in the Mode button, and at the same time, reconnect the power cord to the switch. You can release the Mode button a second or two after the LED above port 1X goes off. Although the switch software did not start, you can use the boot loader to enter commands. Step 5 At the switch: prompt, enter the flash_init command to initialize the flash file system: switch: flash_init Step 6 Enter the copy xmodem boot loader command to start the transfer. Step 7 switch: copy xmodem: flash:image_filename
