3. (Optional) To install the new firmware version and reboot the UTM with the new firmware
version as the active firmware, select the Switch to new firmware automatically after
installation check box.
4. Click Install Uploaded Firmware. (If you decide that you do not want to install the uploaded
firmware, you can click Remove to remove the uploaded firmware.)
WARNING:
After you have started the firmware installation process, do not
interrupt the process. Do not try to go online, turn off the UTM, or
do anything else to the UTM until the UTM has fully rebooted.
Note: A status bar shows the progress of the installation process, which
might take up to 20 minutes.
If you have selected the check box in Step 3: When the installation process is complete, a
counter at the top of the screen displays the remaining time before the UTM reboots. The
UTM reboots automatically. During the reboot process, the Firmware screen remains
visible. The reboot process is complete after several minutes when the Test LED on the
front panel goes off and the Firmware screen disappears.
5. This step applies only if you did not select the check box in Step 3. If you did select the
check box, skip to Step 6.
a. After the firmware installation process is complete, the newly installed firmware is the
secondary firmware and not the active firmware. Ensure that the Activation radio
button for the secondary firmware is selected (it should have been selected
automatically).
b. Click the Reboot button at the bottom of the screen to start the reboot process. A
counter at the top of the screen displays the remaining time before the UTM reboots.
The UTM reboots automatically. During the reboot process, the Firmware screen
remains visible. The reboot process is complete after several minutes when the Test
LED on the front panel goes off and the Firmware screen disappears.
6. A couple of minutes after the UTM has rebooted, log back in to the UTM. The System
Status screen displays.
7. In the System Information section of the System Status screen, verify that the newly installed
firmware is the active firmware and that the old firmware is now the secondary firmware.
Note: In some cases, such as a major upgrade, it might be necessary to
erase the configuration and manually reconfigure your UTM after
upgrading it. Refer to the firmware release notes that NETGEAR
makes available.
