Configuring software upgrade
Overview
Device software includes the Boot ROM program and the system boot file. After powered on, the device runs
the Boot ROM program, initializes the hardware, and displays the hardware information. Then the device
runs the boot file. The boot file provides drivers and adaption for hardware, and implements service features.
The Boot ROM program and system boot file are required for the startup and running of a device.
