2. Wait until a dialog box appears with the upgrade result. It should indicate that the firmware

upgrade is complete.

3. If the upgrade is successful, you will be returned to the dashboard. Nuvation Energy BMS will

remain in Service Lockout.



You will need to import a valid configuration file before attempting to exit Service
Lockout.

6.3.4. Troubleshooting

During the firmware upgrade, if a failure is reported, retry the upgrade.

While exiting the service lockout, if a failure is reported, please see

Section 7.5

for troubleshooting
