   Enter your choice(0-5):1
   

3. Enter an appropriate baud rate option. For example, enter 5 to set the baud rate to 115200 bps.

   For faster file transfer, change the default baud rate to a higher value before downloading Comware software with XMODEM through the console port.

4. Enter 0 to return to the Serial submenu.

5. Choose an option from 1 to 3. For example, to upgrade the main Comware software images, enter 2.

6. On the configuration terminal, configure the communication settings and transfer the upgrade file. For more information, see "Using XMODEM to upgrade software through the console port."

   In this example, the system sets the file as a main software image file when the file transfer is complete. The following is the sample output:

   Waiting ...CCC
   Download successfully!
   47979456 bytes downloaded!
   Updating File flash:/test-boot-test.bin..............................................
   ..Done.
   

7. Enter 0 in the Serial submenu to return to the EXTENDED-BOOTWARE menu.

8. Enter 1 in the EXTENDED-BOOTWARE menu to run the new software.
