How to update the firmware to v1.4
Backup your existing data
If you are upgrading from previous firmware release, due to the changes made, the
upgrade to v1.4 can’t be done directly through Advanced->Firmware page because
there are changes made in kernel, FS drivers and root file system (256MB) in the v2.2
firmware.
To install v1.4 firmware on to HD, the user has to perform system initialization page to
upload the v1.4 firmware and this means the original NAS/backup data will be
destroyed.
WARNING
We strongly recommend you to have all your data on the unit backed up,
before you start the firmware upgrade.
Steps of firmware update
1.
Browse to the web management page of the unit (by default it’s
http://192.168.0.101
, you can use Storage System Console to open the page for it.
The Storage System Console program can be found on the CD inside the package of
freeStor 4020, please check the user manual for more information on how to install
the Storage System Console program).
