3.(Optional) To install the new firmware version and reboot the UTM with the new firmware version as the active firmware, select the Switch to new firmware automatically after installation check box.

4.Click Install Uploaded Firmware. (If you decide that you do not want to install the uploaded firmware, you can click Remove to remove the uploaded firmware.)

WARNING:

After you have started the firmware installation process, do not interrupt the process. Do not try to go online, turn off the UTM, or do anything else to the UTM until the UTM has fully rebooted.

Note: A status bar shows the progress of the installation process, which might take up to 20 minutes.

If you have selected the check box in Step 3: When the installation process is complete, a counter at the top of the screen displays the remaining time before the UTM reboots. The UTM reboots automatically. During the reboot process, the Firmware screen remains visible. The reboot process is complete after several minutes when the Test LED on the front panel goes off and the Firmware screen disappears.

5.This step applies only if you did not select the check box in Step 3. If you did select the check box, skip to Step 6.

a.After the firmware installation process is complete, the newly installed firmware is the secondary firmware and not the active firmware. Ensure that the Activation radio button for the secondary firmware is selected (it should have been selected automatically).

b.Click the Reboot button at the bottom of the screen to start the reboot process. A counter at the top of the screen displays the remaining time before the UTM reboots. The UTM reboots automatically. During the reboot process, the Firmware screen remains visible. The reboot process is complete after several minutes when the Test LED on the front panel goes off and the Firmware screen disappears.

6.A couple of minutes after the UTM has rebooted, log back in to the UTM. The System Status screen displays.

7.In the System Information section of the System Status screen, verify that the newly installed firmware is the active firmware and that the old firmware is now the secondary firmware.

Note: In some cases, such as a major upgrade, it might be necessary to erase the configuration and manually reconfigure your UTM after upgrading it. Refer to the firmware release notes that NETGEAR makes available.
