**Note:** Aside from the usual RJ45 serial port, the ICX7150 also has a USB-C port. On this port, it has a built in USB to serial adapter, so you can plug the USB-C port directly into your PC, and it will then show up as a serial port. You will need to install the serial adapter driver from the `USB-C Serial Driver` folder.
You need to set up a temporary TFTP server - I recommend [Tftpd32 Portable Edition](http://www.tftpd64.com/tftpd32_download.html) if you're on Windows and don't want to install anything. Point the server to an empty folder to serve files from. From the ZIP, copy the bootloader from the ```Boot``` folder into your tftp server directory. Then, from the ```Images``` folder, copy over the OS image to the same place. If you have a PoE model, copy over the PoE firmware from the `PoE Firmware` folder to your TFTP directory as well.
