To Download the New Software. 

Your ProCurve Series 5300xl Switches support several different 

methods for downloading new operating system software. For instructions on how to download the 
new software, please see appendix A, “File Transfers” in the 

Management and Configuration Guide

 

on the 

Documentation CD-ROM

 included with your switch.

Saving the Configuration After Installing or Exchanging a Module

The following cases automatically result in a change to the running-configuration on your switch:

If you replace a module with another module of a different type and then reboot the switch

If you install a module in a slot that has not previously been used (including when you install 
a module and apply power to the switch for the first time)

If you want to save such changes to permanent memory (startup-configuration), use the 

write memory

 

command in the switch console. This causes the switch to use the new hardware configuration for 
subsequent reboots. (The switch always reboots from the startup-configuration.)

If you do not save the hardware changes to the startup-configuration, you will be prompted with the 
following message the next time you use the 

boot

 or 

reload

 commands:

Do you want to save the current configuration [y/n] ?
