The fastboot command initiates a warm reboot that bypasses POST and takes about
one minute to reboot the switch. The switch may be in any operational state (enabled
or disabled) before rebooting.
The following is an example of the fastboot command screen.

The firmwareDownload command downloads firmware into flash memory. This
command can be executed on an operational switch. A reboot is required to initiate
the new firmware after the download has completed. The following is an example of
the firmwareDownload command screen.
Firmware can be downloaded from a UNIX, Windows 9x, Windows NT, or Windows
2000 host. For a UNIX host, no special software is needed. For Windows 9x, Win-
dows NT or Windows 2000 host, the PowerVault utilities diskette provides a daemon
to support a remote shell (RSH). A firmware download is executed by way of an RCP
command running on top of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) between the switch
and the host.
To download the firmware, perform the following steps:
1. Run the setup.exe file on the PowerVault utilities diskette to install the rshd.exe
and cat.exe utility files on the hard-disk drive.
2. Click Start and then click Programs.
