Cisco DNCS System Release 2.8.1 3.8.1 4.3.1 User Guide

The next step is to load the image files onto the BFS. Load only the image files for the devices that you have in
your system. 



If a file is used by more than one device type or device revision, you only need to add that file once.



Unnecessary files will slow the software download. Be careful to load only those files currently required

 for more information.
