Note

WeOS releases older than 4.13.1 (e.g., WeOS 4.13.0 or 4.11.2) are un-

Units running releases earlier than WeOS 4.13.1: When upgrading WeOS

units running older versions than WeOS 4.13.1 (e.g., WeOS 4.13.0 or 4.11.2),

Hint

If your unit is running a WeOS, e.g., WeOS4.12.0, and you wish to
upgrade using a ”pkg” installation file (e.g., ”WeOS-4.14.0.pkg”) you

Hint

If the switch reports lack of free memory when trying to upgrade the
firmware, try to disable non-essential services on the switch.
