Installing the Service Pack
The PowerVault NX3500 system uses a service pack methodology to update to

pack is transferred using an FTP program that is set to auto, the service pack file is
recognized as text and is transferred in ascii mode. This adds control characters to
the service pack file, which may cause the embedded checksum to fail.
To upgrade the service pack:
