Table 3-16 describes the Software Download screen fields.

The software download process is automated so that once initiated, it runs to 
completion without user intervention. The download process erases the contents 
of flash memory and replaces it with a new image; therefore, it is important that 
the download process not be interrupted once initiated. When the download 
process is complete, the switch is reset automatically and the new software image 
initiates a self-test. The self-test results are displayed briefly in the BayStack 350 
switch Self-Test screen, which is followed by the CI screens.

During the download process, the BayStack 350 switch is nonfunctional. You can 
monitor the progress of the download process by observing the BayStack 350 
switch LED indications.
