Upgrading The Firmware - SonicWALL SuperMassive 9200 Getting Started Manual

Upgrading the Firmware
The appliance must be properly registered before the firmware
can be upgraded. Refer to Registering in SonicOS on page 27
for more information.
To upload new firmware to your SonicWall appliance
and reboot with current configuration settings:
1 Download the SonicOS firmware image file from
MySonicWall and save it to a convenient location on
your local computer.
2 Point your browser to the appliance IP address, and log
in as an administrator.
3 On the System > Settings page, click Upload New
Firmware.
4 Browse to the location where you saved the SonicOS
firmware image file, select the file and click the Upload
button.
After the firmware finishes uploading, it is displayed in
the Firmware Management table.
5 Click the Boot icon in the row for Uploaded Firmware ‐
New! to restart the appliance with the new firmware
using your existing configuration settings.
6 In the confirmation dialog box, click OK. The appliance
restarts and then displays the login page.
7 Enter your user name and password. The new SonicOS
image version information is displayed on the System >
Status page.
Using SafeMode to Upgrade Firmware
If you are unable to connect to the SonicOS management
interface, you can restart the security appliance in SafeMode.
The SafeMode feature allows you to recover quickly from
uncertain configuration states with a simplified management
interface that includes the same settings available on the
System > Settings page.
The SafeMode procedure uses a recessed SafeMode button in
a small pinhole near the USB ports on the front of the
SonicWall appliance.
To use SafeMode to upgrade firmware on a SonicWall
security appliance:
1 Connect your computer to the MGMT port on the
appliance and configure your computer with an IP
address on the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, such as
192.168.1.20.
