FS S8050 Series Ethernet Switch can support new features and enhance system performance without replacing hardware by 
upgrading the operating system.
Figure 6-1 Upgrade Operating System
1. In the privilege mode of switch, use the command COPY to copy the mirror files on TFTP server to the boot directory of 
switch flash.
Switch# copy mgmt-if tftp://10.10.29.160/SwitchOS-ma-v3.1.12.it.r.bin flash:/boot/ SwitchOS-ma-v3.1.12.it.r.bin
2. When copying, check if the switch has enough space; if the space is not enough, you can delete redundant mirror.
Set the mirror that will be loaded when switch starts next time.
3. After copying the mirror to a relevant directory of switch, you can use the command boot to set the mirror that will be 
loaded when switch starts next time.
Switch(config)# boot system flash:/boot/SwitchOS-ma-v3.1.12.it.r.bin

After setting the mirror that will be loaded when switch starts next time, you can use the command SHOW to check if the 
setting is valid;
