To revert to a previous firmware version using the web-based manager
1 Copy the firmware image file to your management computer.
The firmware images for FortiGate units are available at the Fortinet Technical Support
web site. Log in to the site and go to Firmware Images > FortiGate.
2 Log into the web-based manager as the super admin, or an administrator account that
has system configuration read and write privileges.
3 Go to System > Status.
4 In the System Information section, select Update on the Firmware Version line.
5 Type the path and filename of the firmware image file, or select Browse and locate the
file.
6 Select OK.
The FortiGate unit uploads the firmware image file, reverts to the old firmware version,
resets the configuration, restarts, and displays the FortiGate login. This process takes
a few minutes.
7 Log into the web-based manager.
8 Go to System > Status and check the Firmware Version to confirm that the firmware is
successfully installed.

attack definitions” on page 272.
Viewing operational history
The System Resource History page displays six graphs representing different system
resources and protection activity over time.
Note the refresh rate is 3 second intervals for the graphs.
To view the operational history

Note: Installing firmware replaces the current antivirus and attack definitions with the
definitions included with the firmware release that you are installing. After you install new
firmware, use the procedure “To update antivirus and attack definitions” on page 272 to
make sure that antivirus and attack definitions are up to date.
