File Name – The file name should not contain slashes (\ or /), the

leading letter of the file name should not be a period (.), and the
maximum length for file names on the TFTP server is 127 characters or
31 characters for files on the switch. (Valid characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, “.”,
“-”, “_”)

Note: Up to two copies of the system software (i.e., the runtime

firmware) can be stored in the file directory on the switch. The
currently designated startup version of this file cannot be deleted.

Downloading System Software from a Server

When downloading runtime code, you can specify the destination file
name to replace the current image, or first download the file using a
different name from the current runtime code file, and then set the new
file as the startup file.

Web – Click System, File Management, Copy Operation. Select “tftp to
file” as the file transfer method, enter the IP address of the TFTP server,
set the file type to “opcode,” enter the file name of the software to
download, select a file on the switch to overwrite or specify a new file
name, then click Apply. If you replaced the current firmware used for
startup and want to start using the new operation code, reboot the system
via the System/Reset menu.
