5.1 Using Drobo Dashboard
Drobo Dashboard is the software companion of your Drobo 5D3, enabling you to easily
set up, manage and use your Drobo device.
5.1.1 Keeping Your Software Up to Date
To ensure optimal performance, we highly recommend that you set your Drobo device
to automatically check for software updates (you may have already done this during the
initial set up). This feature keeps both the Drobo Dashboard and your device’s firmware
up to date.
You can also install updates from the Start 5D3 page. If you would like to install a
firmware update from the Drobo website, see Manually Updating Firmware from the
Website.
