see file system management in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.

Usage guidelines
You can install up to 32 .bin files on the device, including one boot image file, one system image file,
and up to 30 feature or patch image files.
Images run in memory immediately after they are activated. However, only images activated by
using the install activate patch filename all command still run in memory after a reboot. For other
images to take effect after a reboot, you must commit the software change by using the install
commit command.
If the specified files are not stored on the member device to be upgraded, the command copies the
images to the member device automatically.
At reboot, a subordinate device automatically synchronizes the master device's configuration and
status data. You must wait for the synchronization to complete before using the install activate
command on the subordinate device. To identify whether the synchronization is complete, use the
display system stable state command. The synchronization is complete if the System State field
displays Stable.
