Software updates
To update the HP 501 software, select Maintenance > Software updates. The Manage
software page displays.
Software information
The HP 501 maintains both an active software image and a backup image. The HP 501
always tries to boot with the active image. If it fails to load, the backup image is used.
Whenever such a failover occurs, the system creates a log message to help you troubleshoot
the software failure.
The Software information area shows the active image and backup image versions. To make
the backup image the active image, and the active image the backup image, click Switch.
The HP 501 reboots with the new image. The process can take several minutes, during which
time the HP 501 is unavailable. Do not power down the HP 501 while the image switch is in
progress. When the image switch is complete, the HP 501 restarts. The HP 501 resumes normal
operation with the same configuration settings it had before the upgrade.
Software upgrade
When a software upgrade is available, you can download the image to the HP 501.
