5Double-click the .exe file on your desktop PC. An InstallShield application starts and walks you through the process of extracting the upgrade files in the default location.

Note: Do not change the default location where InstallShield extracts the files. The SmartSystems Console requires that the files be in this location.

6From the SmartSystems Console, locate the device upgrade to install.

7Drag-and-drop the device upgrade onto each 751G you want to upgrade. The SmartSystems Console will tell you that it is installing the upgrade on your 751G.

Once the upgrade is done downloading to your 751G, your 751G replaces the operating system and then automatically performs a cold-boot. Progress messages do appear on the 751G screen.

The SmartSystems Console will show your 751G as offline (note the red stop sign) until the 751G reboots and reconnects to the system.
