Uploading a New SRA Image
Note: Dell SonicWALL SRA 1200/4200 appliances do not
support downgrading an image and using the
configuration settings file from a higher version. If you
are downgrading to a previous version of a SRA image,
you must select Uploaded Firmware with Factory
Defaults – New! You can then import a settings file
saved from the previous version or reconfigure
manually.
1.
Download the SRA image file from
www.mysonicwall.com
and save it to a location on your local computer.
2.
Select
Upload New Firmware
from the
System
> Settings
page. Browse to the location where you saved
the SRA image file, select the file, and click the
Upload
button. The upload process can take up to one minute.
On a Dell SonicWALL SRA 1200/4200, you are ready to reboot
your SRA appliance with the new SRA image. Do one of the
following:
1.
To reboot the image with current preference, click the
boot
icon for the following entry:

2.
To reboot the image with factory default settings, click the
boot
icon for the following entry:
Uploaded Firmware with Factory Default Settings – New!
Note: Be sure to save a backup of your current configuration
settings to your local machine before rebooting the
SRA appliance with factory default settings, as
described in the previous “Saving a Backup Copy of
Your Configuration Settings” section.
3.
When prompted, type
ERASE
and click

to confirm that
you want to reboot the appliance.

to
proceed. After clicking OK, do not power off the device
while the image is being uploaded to the flash memory.

appliance, the login screen is displayed. The updated
image information is displayed on the
