The system enters ROM-monitor mode if the switch does not find a valid system image, if the NVRAM configuration is corrupted, or if the configuration register is set to enter ROM-monitor mode. From the ROM-monitor mode, you can load a system image manually from Flash memory, from a network server file, or from bootflash. You can enter ROM-monitor mode by restarting the switch and pressing the Break key during the first 60 seconds of startup. Note The Break key is always enabled for 60 seconds after rebooting the system, regardless of whether the Break key is configured to be off by configuration register settings. 78-13315-02 Catalyst 6000 Family Software Configuration Guide-Releases 6.3 and 6.4 2-1
