        1. USB flash drive (USB 2.0, formatted to FAT32 file system)
        2. Dell official switch system firmware file (file extension: .bin)
        3. Console cable
        4. Dell S5224F-ON switch and computer
II. Important Precautions
        1. To avoid damaging the device, do not interrupt the power supply of the switch during the software update.
        2. Before updating the software, make sure that the downloaded software version supports the switch model to be upgraded, the software download page usually has the system software description information.
III. Upgrade Steps
        1. Save the upgrade file to the USB flash drive
        • Copy the switch system upgrade file to the USB flash drive.
        • Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port of the switch.
        • Confirm the firmware file name (with .bin extension) stored on the USB flash drive.
        2. Download the firmware from the USB to the switch
        Enter privileged mode and execute the command to download the system firmware from the USB drive:
            image download usb://[filename]
        Example:
        OS10# image download usb://PKGS_OS10-Enterprise-10.5.5.9.247buster-installer-x86_64.bin
        To verify the download, run: //Download the system software from USB to the switch.
            OS10# dir image
        3. Install the firmware to the standby partition
        Execute the command to install the downloaded firmware into the standby partition:
            image install [file-url]
        Note: Dell OS10 uses a dual-partition design:
        • Active partition: The currently running system version.
        • Standby partition: The reserved partition for firmware upgrades (where the new firmware is installed).
        4. Set the standby partition as the next boot partition
            OS10# boot system standby
        5. Restart the switch to apply the upgrade
            OS10# reload
        6. Verify the upgraded system version
        Run the following command to confirm the current running firmware version:
