STEP 4 Click the Browse button and navigate to the NSSxxxx_fwupgrade_0116.tar.gz firmware upgrade image. STEP 5 Click the Upgrade Firmware button. STEP 6 Run this procedure again by repeating Steps 2 though 5. Performing the upgrade twice allows the system to continue to operate properly (when running the latest firmware), if a system failure occurs. NOTE If you are moving drives between two NSS systems, make sure that both of the systems are using the latest firmware and that the system configurations are saved on USB memory sticks and/or a RAID volume. • When the NSS is joined to an ADS domain and you upgrade the firmware, the ADS is unable to access a share. The workaround is to rejoin the NSS to the ADS domain. (CSCsw94409) 2 Release Notes for the NSS2000 Series Firmware Version 1.16
