9. Firmware Upgrade Utility
9.2 Starting the Upgrade
To upgrade your firmware:
1. Run the downloaded Firmware Upgrade Utility 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 and Agree to the License Agreement (click 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 devices, a detailed description of each appears in the
Device Description panel.
5. After you have made your selection(s), click [Next] to perform the
upgrade. If you enabled Check Firmware Version, the utility
compares the device's firmware levels 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.
If the Check Firmware Version is not enabled, the utility installs
the upgrade files without checking whether they are a higher level
version.
As the upgrade proceeds, status messages will appear in the Status
Messages panel and the progress toward completion is shown on
the Progress bar.

procedure was successful:
Click Finish to close the Firmware Upgrade Utility.
9.4 Upgrade Failed
If the upgrade failed to complete successfully, a dialog box appears asking
if you want to retry. Click Yes to retry. If you click No, the Upgrade Failed
screen appears:
Click Cancel to close the Firmware Upgrade Utility. See the next section,
Firmware Upgrade Recovery, for how to proceed.
