3. Make sure the top folder of the USB drive does not contain any previous Boot loader or

Firmware images (u-boot*.ubt files or fw1*.img files).

4. Connect the USB drive to one of the appliance USB ports. If the operation does not succeed,

this may be because the USB port does not recognize all USB drives. Some USB drives also

use a different file system and those are not supported.

5. Connect the appliance to the power source. The appropriate USB LED lights and blinks several

times as it recognizes the file and uploads it to the appliance. The LED turns off when the file

uploads. This takes several seconds.

If the file is valid, all LAN LEDs start to blink to show progress. Every other LED blinks at a

different speed. Link LEDs blink orange and Activity LEDs blink green.

When the installation is complete, all LAN LEDs turn a constant green. The appliance is ready

for your input.

6. Remove the USB drive and disconnect the appliance from the power source.

7. If you need to install a new firmware image, refer to the firmware image installation section

before you reconnect the appliance to the power source.

of the LAN LEDs are on and the system reboots. When the Notice LED is off, the installation is

complete and the appliance awaits your input.
