ROMMON.
Step 12
Download and install the system image.
rommon>
tftp
Caution
To avoid corrupting the system image, do not remove power from the IPS 4345 while the system image
is being installed.
Note
If the network settings are correct, the system downloads and boots the specified image on the
IPS 4345. Be sure to use the IPS 4345 image.
