Manual Firmware Image Check and Upgrade
To manually check for a new firmware image version, perform the following steps:
1. Navigate to Maintenance > Firmware and click Check for New Version to automatically check for images on
the Dell image server in the cloud.
The field is replaced with the Image Check in Progress message. After the image check is completed, one of the
following messages will appear:
No new version available—If there is no new version available.
Image server timed out—Connection or session between the image server and the IAP is timed out.
Image server failure—If the image server does not respond.
A new image version found—If a new image version is found.
2. If a new version is found, the Upgrade Now button becomes available and displays the version number.
3. Click Upgrade Now.
The IAP downloads the image from the server, saves it to flash and reboots. Depending on the progress and
success of the upgrade, one of the following messages will be displayed:
Upgrading—While image upgrading is in progress.
Upgrade successful—When the upgrading is successful.
Upgrade fail—When the upgrading fails.
