Usage Guidelines
If the BIOS is upgraded, you need to reboot to make the new BIOS effective. You can schedule the reboot
at a convenient time so traffic will not be impacted.
The console baud rate automatically reverts to the default rate (9600) after any BIOS upgrade.
The URL is always the system image URL in the supervisor module, and points to the bootflash: or slot0:
directories.
