Starting the Upgrade

To upgrade your firmware:
1. Run the downloaded Firmware Upgrade Package file – either by double clicking the file icon, or by 

opening a command line and entering the full path to it. 

The Firmware Upgrade Utility Welcome screen appears.

2. Read the License Agreement (enable the I Agree radio button).

3. Click Next to continue. The Firmware Upgrade Utility main screen appears.
The Utility inspects your installation. All the devices capable of being upgraded by the package are 
listed in the Device List panel.
4. As you select a device in the list, its description appears in the Device Description panel.

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.
