Update CPLD
We have a stack of N4064F and N2000 series stacks that I need to update. I'm quite confused on the process to update the CPLD in stacked configuration. The first documentation I found from Dell stated the instructions are included in the downloaded file for a given update, however this isn't accurate I've found. I did find this community post: POST
Does the file need to be uploaded to each stack member individually?
On the GUI, I'm confused on the active images page. I'll be using the CLI for the CPLD update, but could someone elaborate on this screen?
Lastly from Dell support I was told to use this command to update the code:
update bootcode
reload
When I asked what to do for a stacked configuration I was told:
With the stack, it will be likely different. You will use a different command for it. Run the command "update cpld", and we do the Master the last. "update cpld x"where x is the unit number and it will reboot that unit when done.
I'm not sure of the process here. Do I just go through the stack one by one?
Any help is appreciated as I'm really confused on this process.

Hi djhurt1,
The update is only loaded to the master and it copies it to the members. On that screen the active image is the one you are booted to, when you update it updates the backup and makes it the active, so for each update it flips back and forth. For CPLD the way they said to do it is right, one at a time.
