Using the Secondary Firmware
If the primary firmware is not stable, you can manually set the secondary firmware
that was in use as the primary firmware. The original primary firmware will then
become the secondary firmware. After you switch to the secondary firmware, the
security appliance reboots with the saved settings. At this time, we recommend
that you revert your security appliance to the factory default settings.
!
CAUTION
Do not try to swap the firmware if the secondary firmware is not present. Doing so
can cause the security appliance to not boot up.
