ReadyNAS for Home RAIDiator 5.3
NETGEAR recommends that you back up your data, especially data that cannot be replaced,
before you perform a firmware update.
Update Firmware Remotely
If your ReadyNAS system has Internet access, the remote method is easiest.
To update firmware remotely:
1.
Select
Configure > System > Settings
, and click
Update
to expand that section.
2.
Click the
Check for Updates
button.
If no firmware update is available, you are notified that your system has the most current
firmware.
If a firmware update is available, you are prompted to update your system.
3.
If a firmware update is available, click the
Perform System Update
button.
A pop-up window displays notifying you that the firmware update is under way. After the
update finishes, you are prompted to reboot the system.
4.
Reboot your system.
If you enabled email alerts, your ReadyNAS system sends a message when the firmware
update finishes.
Update Firmware Locally
If you keep your ReadyNAS system in a location that does not have Internet access, for
example, at a remote vacation cabin, you must update your firmware locally.
To update firmware locally:
1.
Using a computer that has Internet access, download the latest firmware for your system
from
http://readynas.com/downloads
to a USB drive.
2.
Connect the USB drive containing the updated firmware file to your ReadyNAS system.
