Firmware
Firmware is the software that operates your ReadyNAS storage system. It is written directly
to your system's read-only memory. NETGEAR periodically releases firmware updates to
improve your storage system. Because firmware is stored in read-only memory, updating the
firmware requires a special process.
The firmware on your ReadyNAS system is called RAIDiator, and your system uses the 5.3
version of RAIDiator. Updates are numbered chronologically, for example:
•
RAIDiator 5.3.1
•
RAIDiator 5.3.2
You can update the firmware on your ReadyNAS system remotely from the NETGEAR
website or manually from a local drive. The update process changes only the firmware; it
does not modify your data.
NETGEAR recommends that you back up your data, especially data that cannot be replaced,
before you perform a firmware update.
Update Firmware Remotely
If your ReadyNAS system has Internet access, the remote method is easiest.
To update firmware remotely:
1.
Select Configure > System > Update.
The Update screen displays.
