medium on the MPU.
To upgrade the BootWare image for an interface card or a switching fabric module:
• In standalone mode—Save the upgrade file in the root directory of a storage medium on the active
MPU.

the member switch that hosts the card.
If the storage medium has been partitioned, save the upgrade file to the root directory of the first
partition.

for a correct startup.
