Chassis Software Upgrade

If the selected chassis is compatible with the client, the
ports for the chassis and a context menu (see Figure 19) with an option for upgrading the chassis.
Right-click a chassis and select

Group that includes multiple chassis, all chassis in the Sync Group will be upgraded.

you upgrade the chassis for the first time, the firewall will prompt you to unblock
ProbeUpgradeUtility.exe
2 programs as firewall exceptions to allow the upgrade to happen. If you are a Standard User, you
will need the Computer Administrator to unblock these 2 programs. Otherwise, the upgrade will
fail after a timeout of 6 minutes.
For Microsoft Windows Server operating systems, Windows Firewall must be disabled for the
upgrade to happen irrespective of whether you are an Administrator or a Standard User.
The upgrade process will set up a temporary FTP server and upload the correct system and

A confirmation message will appear showing the new version numbers before the upgrade starts.
