Trying to upgrade the firmware and boot on several powerconnect 5324 switches. Very old versions, firmware is 45 and boot is 1.00.2.02
First tried using hyper terminal and xmodem. In going to the latest I read the cautionary note about continous rebooting so took firmware from version 45 to 47,no problem. Then tried to upgrade the boot and following download got an "Incorrect file format" message. Tried again, using the latest 10.0.21 with the latest package.
Still got file format error message.
Tried it using cli and the tftp method. Immediately got the incorrect file format message. Should I try downloading the software again, or is something else going on? Switches are out of warranty.
Thanks
Paul
