Use the following procedure to upgrade the worker module firmware version. This
procedure describes how to install worker module firmware on the primary I/O
module. The primary I/O module synchronizes this firmware to all worker modules.
Note: Installing firmware replaces the current antivirus and attack definitions with the
definitions included with the firmware release that you are installing. After you install new
firmware make sure that antivirus and attack definitions are up to date.
To upgrade the worker module firmware using the web-based manager

Type the path and filename of the firmware image file, or select Browse and locate
the file.

The I/O module uploads the firmware image file, the worker modules upgrade to
the new firmware version, close all sessions, and restart.

Go to System > Status and check the Firmware Version to confirm that the
firmware upgrade is successfully installed.

To upgrade the worker module firmware using the CLI
To use the following procedure, you must have a TFTP server the I/O module can
connect to from the management interface.
Note: To use this procedure, you must log in using the admin administrator account, or an
admin account that has system configuration read and write privileges.
1
Make sure the TFTP server is running.
2
Copy the new firmware image file to the root directory of the TFTP server.

Log into the CLI.
4
Make sure the I/O module can connect to the TFTP server.
You can use the following command to ping the computer running the TFTP
server. For example, if the IP address of the TFTP server is 192.168.1.168:
execute ping 192.168.1.168
