•
boot_conf - active boot code
•
boot_ori - original boot code
•
config.tgz - ACS configuration information
•
zImage - Linux kernel image

Step 1 - Log in to the ACS as root.
Provide the root password if requested.
Step 2 - Go to the /mnt/flash directory using the following command:

Step 3 - FTP to the host where the new firmware is located.
