Upgrading an 8-Slot
Chassis
Before you upgrade the software image of an 8-slot Switch 7700, there are several
things to remember:
■
A Fabric from a 7-slot chassis should be installed in Slot0 in an 8-slot chassis
and must be upgraded to V3.0 (8-slot version) of the software.
■
After you install the redundant Fabric module, you must wait for a few minutes
until a CLI message indicates that the secondary Fabric is ready, then save the
configuration.
■
Use the management port on the Fabric to download code.
■
You must set the boot-loader file to the V3.0 file after you download it.
■
After you upgrade both Fabrics, you must reboot the switch.
