Prepare the switch image files for switch firmware update as instructed in this topic.
The switch firmware image files are contained in the main
firmware update archive found in the ThinkAgile SXM Updates Repository.
This archive is titled using the format <Platform>Firmware_SXMBR<yyyy>.zip,
where <Platform> is either “Broadwell” or “Purley” and yyyy represents
the ThinkAgile SXM Best Recipe version. To prepare the switch firmware
image files for update using the CLI method, follow these steps:
- In the extracted directory, look for the appropriate switch
firmware update files. The following example shows the firmware update
packages for the switches included in Broadwell-based ThinkAgile SXM
solutions.

- For each switch to be updated, open the appropriate zip
archive file. The following example shows the contents of the archive
for the RackSwitch G8272 TOR switches included in Broadwell-based
ThinkAgile SXM solutions.

- Select the IMGS image files and copy the files. Note that
for the BMC switch running ENOS, there are two IMGS files, as shown
in the following example.
