Or open RAIDar and click Browse.
If you want to update the F/W of the NAS, you should use the "Check for update" button under System from the Web UI. It might update by steps instead of going to the latest versions straight away, if necessary. The latest version is 4.1.15.
If you have important data on the NAS it would be advisable to update your regular backup of that data before doing the firmware update.
Thank you for the replies.
For reasons I don't understand it will neither upgrade the FW through the web management, nor can I upload a FW upgrade manually, it errors out.
