Upgrade Stack of Dell EMC Networking N1500 Series Switches
Note on “copy” command from steps 2,3 and 4 in switch upgrade above:
 “copy” command will take longer to complete with a stack of switches. This is due to the master switch
copying the software to the member switches. The master switch will display the line “Distributing the
code to the members of the stack!” for several minutes until the copy is done.
 “copy” command will copy the software to all the switches as “backup” image

Are you sure you want to reload the stack? (y/n) y
After the stack of switches has finished rebooting, log in and verify that the firmware has been
updated to the 6.5.2.9 version using the show version command. A single switch will typically
reboot in around two minutes. A stack may take significantly longer to complete the upgrade
process.
