The Firmware panel (Maintenance > Firmware) shows information about system and disk firmware versions, and enables you to perform firmware updates.
The system can store multiple system firmware bundles, including:
Factory firmware—The original firmware bundle for recovery purposes or a copy of later firmware if downgrades are prohibited to the original firmware.
Active firmware—The firmware bundle that is activated and in use.
Installed / Not Active firmware—Another firmware bundle that is installed and available to be activated. This bundle may be a newer bundle or an older, previously active bundle.
In this panel you can:
View information about the current firmware bundle.
View whether the Partner Firmware Update option is enabled.
View information about installed and active system firmware bundles.
Install a new firmware bundle.
Activate an installed firmware bundle.
View information about current disk firmware and available updates.
