ReadyNAS OS 6.1 System Maintenance This sections covers upgrading and resetting firmware, recovering the administrator password, shutting down or restarting the system, and managing system power. Update Firmware Firmware is the software that operates your ReadyNAS storage system. It is written directly to your system's read-only memory. NETGEAR periodically releases firmware updates to improve your storage system. Because firmware is stored in read-only memory, updating the firmware requires a special process. Updates are numbered chronologically, for example: • ReadyNAS OS 6.0.1 • ReadyNAS OS 6.0.2 You can update the firmware on your ReadyNAS system remotely from the NETGEAR website or manually from a local drive. The update process changes only the firmware; it does not modify your data. NETGEAR recommends that you back up your data, especially data that cannot be replaced, before you perform a firmware update. Update Firmware Remotely If your ReadyNAS system has Internet access, the remote method is easiest way to update your firmware. To update firmware remotely: 1. Select System > Settings > Update.
