This chapter contains the following procedures:
Installing and booting NETBuilder software
Making a backup copy of the software flash memory card 
Installing Software 
and Performing Initial 
Boot
NETBuilder software can be installed in the following ways:
From a flash memory card with preinstalled software. 3Com recommends this 
method.
EZBuilt NETBuilder II systems have a factory-installed software flash memory 
card. To boot your EZBuilt system, refer to “Booting an EZBuilt NETBuilder II 
System.”
For component NETBuilder II systems to boot from a flash memory card, they 
mus have a flash memory drive installed. For installation instructions, refer to 
the NETBuilder II Flash Memory Drive Installation Guide. After you have 
installed a flash memory drive, refer to “Booting a Component NETBuilder II 
System” on page 4-2 for instructions on booting your system.
From CD-ROM on a UNIX-based or PC-based network management station 
using TFTP
Booting from the Flash 
Memory Card
To start your NETBuilder II system from a flash memory card with preinstalled 
software, follow the procedures in this section.
Prerequisites
Before you boot your new NETBuilder II system, you need to complete all setup 
and installation instructions in the hardware guide provided with the system and 
system components. You also need to connect a console to your system.
Booting an EZBuilt
NETBuilder II System
The EZBuilt NETBuilder II system comes with a factory-installed flash memory card 
that contains the NETBuilder software. To boot an EZBuilt NETBuilder II system, 
follow these steps:
Turn on the EZBuilt NETBuilder system.
The NETBuilder II system boots from the default boot source a:/101/boot.29K (the 
flash memory drive).
When the boot operation is complete, press the Return key on the console. 
The NETBuilder console prompt should appear on the screen.
If the console is not operating properly (if you see incorrect characters, or no 
characters), refer to the setup instructions in the hardware installation guide.
