Appendix A Downloading and Installing Software Upgrades
Quickstart Procedures for Software Upgrades
Graceful Service Module Boot Software Upgrades
When performed properly, graceful upgrades have minimal impact on connections in progress and do
not interrupt any established connections. This quickstart procedure applies to all service modules
except the RPM family of cards and provides an overview and quick reference for those who have
already performed graceful boot software upgrades on the switch.
Note If you plan to upgrade PXM cards and service modules, upgrade the PXM cards first. Wait until the PXM
cards are operating in active and standby modes with the correct software before upgrading service
modules. The software version used by the PXM cards should be equal to or later than the version used
on the service modules.
Note Cisco Systems recommends that you upgrade software on one service module at a time within a switch.
Wait until each service module upgrade is complete before starting an upgrade on another service
module.

Operating Procedures.
Step 4

Caution If the card is removed or reset, or if switch power is
interrupted during the boot software upgrade, the
upgrade will not complete, the card will not operate,
and the card must be returned to Cisco for repair.
See the “Upgrading Boot Software on Service Modules” section,
which appears later in this appendix.
Step 5

standby mode.
