Firmware Update
The Firmware Update page allows you to set up the device to update the My Cloud EX2
firmware automatically or to manually check for an update file. The current version number
and the date of last update of the firmware also display on this screen.
Auto Update
Auto Update allows you to schedule your WD My Cloud EX2 device to conveniently check
for available software updates and install them automatically. This is the easiest way of
ensuring the WD My Cloud EX2 firmware is current.
Note: After a firmware update installs, the WD My Cloud EX2 device reboots.
Since a reboot affects users' ability to access the cloud, schedule the
updates to occur at times when the likelihood of users accessing the
cloud are minimal.
Note: If you enable Auto Update, you are asked to manually reboot your
system when the update is completed.
Updating Firmware Automatically
1. To enable Auto Update, click the toggle button to ON.
2. In the Update Schedule field, from the drop-down lists, specify the frequency (e.g., daily)
and the time at which the device should look for an update on the WD website.
3. Click Save.
Once saved, your device will check for firmware updates at the specified time and day. If
an update is available, it will automatically install and prompt you for a reboot.
