Some product features are enabled only when the latest versions of operating systems, patches,
and firmware are installed. To retain optimal performance, security, and stability, you must
install the latest available operating systems, patches, and firmware.
System Software Release 2.2.0 is associated with system firmware version 4.0.4.20. Newer
versions have either a higher number or have a letter added to the number. For example, a future
