Rockwell Automation Publication 1783-UM007G-EN-P - February 2017 69
Get Started Chapter 2
With firmware revision 2.001 or later, the firmware is installed to the running
nonvolatile memory location:
• If you start the switch with the SD card inserted, the firmware is
installed on the SD card.
• If you start the switch from internal memory without the SD card
inserted, the firmware is installed in the internal memory.
When the update process completes, a success message appears, and the switch
automatically restarts. It can take a few minutes for the switch to restart with
the new firmware.
Verify that the latest firmware revision on the switch appears in the Software
field in the Switch Information area of the dashboard.
