The X-Pedition operates using the system image software installed in its internal flash chip. To
upgrade the system software and operate using the upgraded image, use the following procedure:
1. Enter the enable command in the CLI to enter Enable mode.
2. To display the current boot settings, enter the system show version command.
Note: In this example, the location “slot0:boot” indicates that the X-Pedition is set to use the
factory-installed system software in the motherboard’s internal flash chip.

access. Use the ping command to verify that the X-Pedition can reach the TFTP server.
4. Enter the system image add command to copy the software upgrade onto the X-Pedition’s
internal flash chip.
5. Enter the system image list command to verify that the new image exists on the internal flash
chip.
6. Use the system image choose command to select the image file the X-Pedition will use the
next time you reboot.
