The <slot-number> parameter specifies the slot number that contains the interface module
that will undergo an immediate boot. You can specify 1 – 4 for 4-slot devices, 1 – 8 for 8-slot
devices, or 1 – 16 for 16-slot devices.
After you enter this command, the system enters monitor mode on the interface module. To boot
from the primary image in flash memory on the interface module, enter the following command at
the monitor prompt.
LP MONITOR> boot system flash primary
Syntax: boot system flash primary
Configuring an automatic boot
To configure an automatic boot for one or all interface modules from a specified source, enter the
lp boot system command in the global CONFIG level. If you save this configuration by entering the
write memory command, the system implements the automatic boot starting with the next
software reload or system reset and each reload or reset after that.

To configure an automatic boot for all interface modules from PCMCIA slot1 on the management
module, enter the following command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI.
PowerConnect(config)# lp boot system slot1 primary all
