Managing Your Storage System - 67

This sends a test message to the specified recipients. If they do not receive the test message, make

sure that all the entries on this page are correct. You might also need to modify the network settings

(such as the gateway to use). For information about changing the network settings, refer to “Changing

the Network Settings” on page 72.

Upgrading the Firmware

The Firmware page displays the current version of the firmware that is installed on your storage system. It

also allows you to upgrade whenever newer firmware becomes available.

For additional security, you must enter your administrator password in order to upgrade the firmware.

To upgrade the firmware:

1. In the navigation bar, click Advanced.

2. In the left pane, click Firmware.

3. In Firmware file, enter the path and file name for the firmware package (such as

D:\fs-usr-1.2-b609.pkg), or click Browse to find and select the file from the displayed list.

4. In Administrator password, enter the password that you use for logging in to the Web User Interface.

Caution: When you upgrade the firmware, the storage system restarts, and access to the Web User

Interface is temporarily interrupted. In addition, users will not be able to access the shared

folders while the system restarts. If users have shared files open, data might be lost. Be sure

to have all users save their changes and close any open files before you upgrade the

firmware.

Restarting the storage system when a backup is occurring will not have any adverse effect;

the backup will resume automatically when the storage system resumes operation. However,

restarting the storage system when a disk is being recovered can potentially corrupt the

user’s operating system, and the user will need to recover the system disk using the recovery

CD (or, if the system disk was not protected, re-install the operating system). Be sure to

upgrade the firmware only when recovery is not occurring.

If you upgrade from version 1.0, the personal folders (the home folders) that were automati-

cally created for each Windows or Mac OS X user will be deleted. To retain the data in those

folders, you must copy it to another location before upgrading the firmware.
