The software download process automatically completes without user
intervention. The process erases the contents of flash memory and replaces it
with a new software image. Take care not to interrupt the download process
until after it runs to completion (the process can take up to 10 minutes,
depending on network conditions).

When the download process is complete, the switch automatically resets and
the new software image initiates a self-test.

During the download process, the BayStack 380-24F Gigabit Switch is not
operational. You can monitor the progress of the download process by
observing the LED indications.
