Upgrades

You should periodically ensure that you have the latest operating system, user

interface, and documentation on your system. From the Support tab, you can

obtain these upgrades for your NAS server and storage array.

Upgrading NAS Server Software

To obtain an upgrade to the NAS server's software (operating system and

applications), contact your Hewlett-Packard representative or go to the

support web site (http://www.hp.com/support/nas8000).
If you have obtained a software upgrade CD from HP and wish to install it,

follow these steps:

Operating System.

Navigate to where the image is stored on the CD, and click the file.

You are asked to confirm this operation. If you click Yes, the new image is

copied to the NAS server, your browser window closes, and the NAS

server reboots to the new operating system. When the reboot completes,

open a new browser and enter the IP address of the HP NAS 8000 in the

address or location field.
