Chapter 5. The Firmware Upgrade Utility
5. After you have made your selection(s), Click Next to perform the upgrade.
If you enabled Check Firmware Version, the Utility compares the device's
firmware level with that of the upgrade files. If it finds that the device's
version is higher than the upgrade version, it brings up a dialog box
informing you of the situation and gives you the option to Continue or
Cancel.
.
If you didn't enable Check Firmware Version, the Utility installs the
upgrade files without checking whether they are a higher level, or not.
As the Upgrade proceeds status messages appear in the Status Messages
panel, and the progress toward completion is shown on the Progress bar.
To abort the upgrade procedure before it completes, click Cancel.
If you cancel before completion, a dialog box appears warning you that
quitting at this point may cause the device's firmware to be lost, and you
are given the option to proceed or abort the cancel operation.
Note: To recover from a "lost firmware" situation, seeFirmware Upgrade
Recovery, page 50.
