PowerConnect 5324 Firmware ?????

Hi Everyone,

I have a 5324 here in my office and I logged into with hyper termial with no trouble and I notice that the firmware on the box is dated back to 2004 .. I checked the website and see that there is a new verison out there ..

So I downloaded it and did the xmodem send a file and everything was going fine .. took 3 hours but no big deal .. it gets done and does it thing and reboots and it still coming up with the firmware from 2004 .. so did it again , same thing ..

what might i be missing ?

 

thanks ..

Thanks DELL-Daniel Co , using the GUI sure about be nice but as the switch was some how wiped cleaned there is no running config or anything in it .. its like someone did a facorty reset on it ..

so I havent figure out yet how to get into the gui if there even is one ..

Thanks for the info Dan , but didnt work .. got the same thing , it goes all the way though sending the file via xmodem says everything was fine .. and when it reboots it still using the old SW Ver. 1.0.0.45 ..

Only thing I did find out is that its using software image 2 , there is nothing in the software image 1 .. because when i tried to run software iamge 1 i got "arc file does not exist"

Any other advice ?

Aloron,

I ran into the same issue but finally got it working. You need to first update your boot rom.
