File Management
The system maintains two versions of the GS716T and GS724T software in permanent
storage. One image is the active image, and the second image is the backup image. The
active image is loaded during subsequent switch restarts. This feature reduces switch down
time when upgrading or downgrading the GS716T and GS724T software.
The
File Management
menu contains links to the following options:

Dual Image Configuration
The system running a legacy software version will ignore (not load) a configuration file
created by the newer software version. When a configuration file created by the newer
software version is discovered by the system running an older version of the software, the
system will display an appropriate warning to the user.
Use the Dual Image Configuration page to set the boot image, configure an image
description, or delete an image.
