Update Firmware

1. Select Add file to browse locally for the firmware image you want to apply.
2. Select Upload to upload the firmware image.
   A message is displayed stating that the upload has started. The upload process may take one minute depending on the size of the DUP image file.

   NOTE:The version of the firmware being uploaded must not be the same version as any running firmware or backup firmware image already installed.

   After you verify that the image file is successfully uploaded, a message is displayed. The updated version is displayed in the Uploaded Image section of the device.
3. Select Activate to update the firmware or Delete to remove the uploaded image file.
   When prompted, select accordingly to indicate if you want to install now or later.

   NOTE:

   • For devices that do not require a reboot to update, only the Now option is displayed.
   • For devices that require a reboot, selecting Now automatically restarts the server and runs the update. If you select later, the firmware is updated after the server is restarted next time.
4. After the update process starts, view the Event Logs to monitor the update process.

   If the update is successful, you see the updated firmware version running for the device being updated.

   NOTE: The previous image which was listed under Running, now is listed under Backup, and the previous Backup image file is deleted.
5. If the update is unsuccessful, the "Running" and "Backup" images are not changed, and an option to delete the unsuccessful image file is displayed.
