Method 3 - Using a USB drive to copy the ACI image

We can copy an image from a USB drive to bootflash, using the dir command first so that we can cut and paste the filename in the copy command:

Switch# dir usb1:
(or dir usb2: depending on which USB slot you have plugged the drive into)
Switch# copy usb1:<ACI-image-name> bootflash:

If we have a dual-supervisor system, we have an additional step, which is to copy the ACI image to the standby supervisor module:

Switch(config)# copy bootflash:aci-image bootflast://sup-standby/
