You can enter

to load the application file.
The procedure of loading an application file is similar to that of upgrading the Boot ROM program. The
difference lies in that the system displays the prompt of loading the application file rather than upgrading
the Boot ROM program.
After loading the application file, the switch displays that you should configure the application attribute,
that is,
main
,
backup
, or
none
. Type a specific attribute to complete loading the application file.

If an application file with a specific attribute already exists when you set a new file with the attribute, the
attribute of the existing file becomes
none
after the new file becomes effective.
Loading Software Through CLI
By connecting a terminal to the switch, you can upgrade the Boot ROM program and load application
files of the switch remotely through CLI.
Loading Software Through USB Interface
Each S5800 series switch provides a USB interface on its front panel. You can download the Boot ROM
and application files to a removable storage device (such as a USB flash disk), and load the file through
the USB interface.
Suppose the Boot ROM and application files are stored in the file named
update.bin
, follow these steps
to load the files from the USB flash disk.
Step1
Plug the USB flash disk containing the
update.bin
file in the USB interface of the switch.
Step2
Copy the
update.bin
file to the flash memory of the switch.
<H3C> cd flash:
<H3C> copy usba:/upadate.bin update.bin
Step3
Remove the USB flash disk, and then load the Boot ROM file.
<H3C> bootrom update file update.bin slot 1
This command will update bootrom file on the specified board(s), Continue? [Y/

Step4
Load the application file, and specify the file as the main program file.
<H3C> boot-loader file update.bin slot 1 main
This command will set the boot file of the specified board. Continue? [Y/N]:y
The specified file will be used as the main boot file at the next reboot on slot 1!
