Installing Software from the Boot Loader Using a USB Storage Device on SRX Series Services Gateways

To install JUNOS Release 10.0 from the boot loader using a USB storage device:

1. Format a USB storage device in MS-DOS format.
2. Copy the JUNOS Software image onto the USB storage device.
3. Plug the USB storage device into the SRX Series device.
4. Stop the device at the loader prompt and issue the following command:
   loader> install file:///<image-path-on-usb>

   For example:

   loader> install file:///junos-srxsme-10.0R2-domestic.tgz

   This will format the internal media and install the new JUNOS Software image on the media with dual-root partitioning.

5. Once the system boots up with JUNOS Release 10.0 or later, upgrade the U-boot and boot loader immediately. See Upgrading the Boot Loader on SRX Series Services Gateways.
