81 Firmware The Firmware page displays the current version of the firmware that is installed on your storage system. It also allows you to upgrade it if a newer firmware becomes available. For additional security, you must enter your administrator password in order to upgrade the firmware. Caution: When you upgrade the firmware, the storage system restarts. Access to the IPStor Express Manager is temporarily interrupted, and users will not be able to access the shared folders during this process. If users have files open on the storage system, data might be lost. Be sure to have all users save their changes and close any open files before you upgrade the firmware.
