Updating firmware
Both Libraries must have a firmware version that supports the Library Extender and the firmware
versions must be compatible with each other for the extended library to operate. When installing and
configuring the extended library the first time, you must update both Libraries to the most recent
available firmware versions to ensure that the firmware versions are compatible. For instructions on
installing firmware, see
Upgrading the Library firmware , page 29.
