Upgrading the firmware of a Cyclades power device
You may upgrade the firmware of a Cyclades power device attached to a DSR switch. There are
two ways to do this:
• From a Unit Overview window, using the Upgrade Firmware wizard - see Upgrading firmware
on page 314.
• Using the Task wizard - see Task: Updating the firmware of an appliance type on page 329.
• In the Select Task to Add window, select Upgrade firmware of selected units.
• In the Select Unit Type window, you may select by product family (Cyclades Power
Devices) or unit type (specific power device types)
If multiple power devices are installed in a daisy chain configuration, the most remote power
device will be upgraded first.
