14.Type the firmware image file name and press Enter.
The FortiWeb appliance downloads the firmware image file from the TFTP server and
displays a message similar to the following:
MAC:00219B8F0D94
###########################
Total 28385179 bytes data downloaded.
Verifying the integrity of the firmware image..
Save as Default firmware/Backup firmware/Run image without
saving:[D/B/R]?
15.Typ e R.
The FortiWeb image is loaded into memory and uses the current configuration, without
saving the new firmware image to disk.
16.To verify that the new firmware image was loaded, log in to the CLI and type:
get system status
17.Test the new firmware image.
• If the new firmware image operates successfully, you can install it to disk, overwriting the
existing firmware, using the procedure “Installing firmware” on page 79.
• If the new firmware image does not operate successfully, reboot the FortiWeb appliance
to discard the temporary firmware and resume operation using the existing firmware.

Installing firmware
You can use either the web UI or the CLI to upgrade or downgrade the appliance’s operating
system.
Firmware changes are either:
• an update to a newer version
• a reversion to an earlier version
To determine if you are updating or reverting the firmware, go to System > Status > Status and
in the System Information widget, see the Firmware Version row. (Alternatively, in the CLI, enter
the command get system status.)
For example, if your current firmware version is:
FortiWeb-VM 4.32,build0531,111031
changing to
FortiWeb-VM 4.32,build0530,110929
If the download fails after the integrity check with the error message:
invalid compressed format (err=1)
but the firmware matches the integrity checksum on the Fortinet Technical Support web site,
try a different TFTP server.
