Upgrade Using an SD Card
In the 1570 / 1590 appliances, you can use an SD card to upgrade to a new firmware image or
auto-configuration file. When you install a new image with an SD card, the appliance deletes
your previous settings and creates a new factory default image. Back up your settings so you
can restore them after the installation is complete.
Note - The 1530 / 1550 appliance does not support SD cards.
Note - SD cards are formatted with ext4. In earlier versions, SD cards are formatted
as FAT32. If you upgrade from an earlier version to R77.20.85 or higher, the SD
remains with FAT32 for backward compatibility.
To upgrade to a new firmware image from an SD card:
1. Disconnect the Quantum Spark Appliance from the power source.
2. Place the firmware image on the SD card in the top folder. Do not rename the file.
Make sure the top folder of the SD card does not contain any previous Boot loader or
firmware images (u-boot*.bin files or fwl*.gz files).
3. Insert the SD card into the SD card slot on the Quantum Spark Appliance. If the
operation does not succeed, this may be because the SD card slot does not recognize all
devices.
4. Connect the appliance to the power source.
The installation begins with the image file. This takes several minutes.
If the file is valid, the Power LEDs start to blink blue to show progress.
When the installation is complete, the Power LED is solid blue. The appliance is ready for your
input.
Restore your settings. For more information, see

System Operations" on page138
