Update The Scan Signatures And Scan Engine Firmware - NETGEAR UTM9S Reference Manual

3. Click Install Uploaded Firmware. (If you decide that you do not want to install the uploaded
firmware, you can click Remove to remove the uploaded firmware.)
Note: The license is verified during the firmware installation process, and
the Install status bar shows the progress of the installation process.
4. After the firmware installation process is complete, the newly installed firmware is the
secondary firmware and not the active firmware. Ensure that the Activation radio button for
the secondary firmware is selected (it should have been selected automatically).
5. Click the Reboot button at the bottom of the screen to start the reboot process. A counter at
the top of the screen displays the remaining time before the UTM actually reboots.
6. Log back in to the UTM. The System Status screen displays.
7. In the System Information section of the System Status screen, verify that the newly installed
firmware is the active firmware and that the old firmware is now the secondary firmware.
Note: In some cases, such as a major upgrade, it might be necessary to
erase the configuration and manually reconfigure your UTM after
upgrading it. Refer to the firmware release notes that NETGEAR
makes available.
