When a system software update is available, the iQ appliance downloads the update in the
background then waits for four hours of inactivity. When that happens, the display shows a
two-minute countdown before beginning the update. The countdown can be interrupted at any
time. The update begins when the countdown finishes. The display shows a blank screen for four
minutes. When the update is complete, the display shows the Home screen.
When the update is installing, touch, the front control panel and remote control will not respond.
NOTE
You can configure your organization’s network to allow or prevent automatic system software
updates (see Connecting to a network).
