Change the remote system's baud rate to 115200 (see "Setting Up the Remote System
Serial Connection Baud Rate").
Click Send to access the Send File dialog box.

Browse and select the file loaderxxx.bix, where xxx is the version of the loader
component.
Click Send to download the file.
The download takes approximately 10 seconds.
After the download is complete, press <l> (lowercase L) to update the loader
component.
After the update is complete, change the remote system's baud rate to 9600 (see
"Setting Up the Remote System Serial Connection Baud Rate").
To update other components, press any key to continue, and proceed to "Updating the
Diagnostics Component" or "Updating the Runtime Component."
If you are not updating any other components, remove the network switch module and
move the jumper back to pins 1 and 2 (default).
NOTE: If you do not move the jumper back to pins 1 and 2, you will not be able to use
ERA/MC console redirection to log into the network switch module.
NOTE: The runtime component can be updated using either the RJ-11–to–serial cable
or the 10/100/1000 BASE-T uplink ports. It is recommended that the runtime
component is updated using the uplink ports connected to the remote system (TFTP
server). See your network switch module documentation for more information about
updating the switch module firmware.
With the RJ-11–to–serial cable connected to the network switch module, reset the
switch module by unplugging the switch module and then reinserting it.
During POST, press <Esc> to enter the diagnostic mode.
If you wait too long and your operating system begins to load let the system complete
the load operation, and then repeat step 1 and step 2.
