Clicking on the “Advanced” button in the menu, then clicking “Firmware” on the left menu will open the Firmware page (Figure 3-19) which displays the current version of the firmware that is installed on your storage system. It also allows you to upgrade it if newer firmware becomes available. For additional security, you must enter your administrator password in order to upgrade the firmware.

Warning: When you upgrade the firmware, the storage system restarts, and access to the Manager is temporarily interrupted. Users will not be able to access the shared folders while the system restarts. If users have shared files open, data might be lost. Be sure to have all users save their changes and close any open files before you upgrade the firmware.
