6. The Firmware Upgrade Utility

5. After you have made your device selection(s), Click

Next

to perform the

upgrade.

If you enabled

Check Firmware Version

, the Utility compares the device's

firmware level with that of the upgrade files. If it finds that the device's
version is higher than the upgrade version, it brings up a dialog box
informing you of the situation and gives you the option to Continue or
Cancel.

If you didn't enable

Check Firmware Version

, the Utility installs the

upgrade files without checking whether they are a higher level, or not.

As the Upgrade proceeds status messages appear in the Status Messages
panel, and the progress toward completion is shown on the

Progress

bar.
