confirmation message appears. This sends a test message to the specified recipients. If they do

3.9 Firmware Updates
Clicking on the “Advanced” button in the menu, then clicking “Firmware” on the left menu will
open the Firmware page (Figure 3-24) which displays the current version of the firmware that is
installed on your storage system. It also allows you to upgrade it if newer firmware becomes
available. For additional security, you must enter your administrator password in order to
upgrade the firmware.
Warning: When you upgrade the firmware, the storage system restarts, and
access to the Manager is temporarily interrupted. Users will not be able to access
the shared folders while the system restarts. If users have shared files open, data
might be lost. Be sure to have all users save their changes and close any open
files before you upgrade the firmware.
Restarting the unit when a backup is occurring will not have any adverse effect;
the backup will resume automatically when the unit resumes operation. However,
restarting the unit when a disk is being recovered can potentially corrupt the
user’s operating system, and the user will have to recover the system disk using
the recovery CD (or, if the system disk was not protected, re-install the operating
system). Be sure to upgrade the firmware only when DSE recovery is not
occurring.
Restarting the storage system when a backup is occurring will not have any adverse effect; the

operating system, and the user will have to recover the system disk using the recovery CD (or, if
the system disk was not protected, re-install the operating system). Be sure to upgrade the
firmware only when DiskSafe Express recovery is not occurring.
