RouterBOARD 1100/AH Series User's Manual 

 

 

Primary Boot Loader 

There are two boot loaders present on the NOR flash memory chip. Secondary is the main one, that is 
executed by default. This is the one that can be upgraded. In case something goes wrong in the upgrade 
process, or you have set some incorrect settings that render it unusable, you can load the Primary boot loader 
by holding the Software Reset 1 button (

S1

), connecting the power, and then releasing the button/jumper. The 

Primary boot loader has the default settings, which can not be changed. It is also not possible to upgrade it.
