right so i already have that zip file but what i am not understanding is how is the boot code uploaded to the switch? there is no directions provided in that zip other than "make sure ot upgrade boot code" .... i found some other directions but that was for GS724v4 which has different features which mines lack in the webui.
You may upload the boot code on the same application where you upload the firmware. You may need to use the Smartwizard Utility in order for you to upgrade it.
