unpack it, and activate it in one step. Refer to “One-Step Firmware
Installation” on page 3-24.
For a non-disruptive activation, enter the Image Fetch command to
download the firmware image file from an FTP or TFTP server. Enter the
Image Unpack command to unpack the image file, then enter the Hotreset
