(CSCsw93385) Downloading and Upgrading the Firmware This procedure describes how to upgrade the firmware on the NSS by using the NSS Configuration graphical user interface (GUI). NOTE Back up the system configuration file to a USB flash device and/or a RAID volume by using the Configuration GUI before you upgrade the firmware. From the Manager Menu, click Admin Configuration to backup the file. To download and upgrade the NSS firmware: STEP 1 Download the latest image from the Cisco support website to your local computer. See http://www.cisco.com/support/index.shtml for further details. After downloading, do not unzip the file. Base Model NSS4000 NSS6000 Firmware NSS4000_fwupgrade_0116.tar.gz NSS6000_fwupgrade_0116.tar.gz STEP 2 Log into the Configuration GUI.
