Maintenance screen.
2. Click the Reboot button.
3. A dialog box appears, warning you that all active sessions is disconnected. Click the OK button.

You can update your switch with the latest firmware available.
After the memory is reprogrammed with the upgrade, the switch performs a soft reset, which terminates
all IQ adaptor sessions. A target device experiencing an IQ adaptor firmware update can not display or
