Upload Software
Click Browse to select the upgrade package file.
Click Upload. This may take a few minutes. When the upload is complete, the wizard automatically validates
the image. A progress indicator at the bottom of the page tells you the percentage completed. When there is
successful image validation, an "Upload Finished" status shows.
Upgrade Settings
The system always performs an upgrade on a separate flash partition and your current-running partition is
not affected. You can always switch back to the current image if there is an immediate failure in the upgrade
process. If the appliance does not come up properly from the boot, disconnect the power cable and
reconnect it. The appliance automatically reverts to the previous image.
Click the Revert to Previous Image button on the System Operations page to return to an earlier image.
The backup contains the entire image, including the firmware, all system settings and the current security
policy.
When you click Next, the upgrade process starts.
Upgrading
The Upgrading page shows an upgrade progress indicator and checks off each step as it is completed.
