# Setting up Brocade FCX & ICX6610

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 image with "R" in the file name to the server as well. For example, ```FCXR08030sa.bin``` - the other image with an S in it is switching only, with less features.

Power on the switch while watching your serial terminal - it will have a prompt saying ```Hit b to enter the boot monitor``` - press ```b``` quickly and you'll be dropped into the bootloader prompt, now we can upgrade the software. If you missed the prompt and it boots the OS instead, pull power and try again.

The switch now has an IP. Unplug your ethernet cable from the isolated management port, and plug it into any of the normal ports on the front. You can now telnet to it and no longer need serial access. It also supports SSH access, but you need to follow the rest of the guide first.
## Update PoE Firmware
If your switch is the PoE model, you need to update the PoE controller firmware. If it's a non-PoE model, skip this step. Assuming you completed the previous section and the switch now has in-band network access, just put the ```fcx_poeplus_02.1.0.b004.fw``` file on your TFTP server and pull it in:
