c
CAUTION:
■ The precision of the rebooting timer is 1 minute. One minute before the 
rebooting time, the device will prompt “REBOOT IN ONE MINUTE” and will 
reboot in one minute.
■ The execution of the reboot, schedule reboot at, and schedule reboot 
delay commands can reboot a device. As a result, the ongoing services will be 
interrupted. Be careful to use these commands.
■ If a primary boot file fails or does not exist, the device cannot be rebooted with 
this command. In this case, you can re-specify a primary boot file to reboot the 
device, or you can power off the device then power it on and the system 
automatically uses the secondary boot file to restart the device.
■ Make sure that either the primary or the backup boot file or both are in normal 
use, when using the schedule reboot command to enable the scheduled 
reboot function.
■ If you are performing file operations when the device is to be rebooted, the 
system does not execute the command for the sake of security.
Specifying a Boot ROM
File for the Next Device
Boot
A Boot ROM file is an application file used to boot the device. When multiple Boot 
ROM files are available on the storage device, you can specify a file for the next 
device boot by executing the following command.
Follow these steps to specify a file for the next device boot:
c
CAUTION: The file for the next device boot must be saved under the root 
directory of the device (for a device supporting storage device partition, the file 
must be saved on the first partition). You can copy or move a file to change the 
path of it to the root directory.
Upgrading Boot ROM During the operation of the device, you can use Boot ROM in the storage device to 
upgrade Boot ROM programs that are running on the device.
Since the Boot ROM programs vary with devices, users are easily confused and 
make serious mistakes when upgrading Boot ROM. After the validity check 
function is enabled, the device will strictly check the Boot ROM upgrade files for
