icon is based on a comparison between the installed software or firmware versions and
newest

on the configuration defined using the Change Settings link. You can configure the Overall Software

version. When both a repository and Reference Support Pack have been configured, the Overall Software
Status
icon is based on a comparison between the installed software or firmware versions and the software
or firmware versions in the Reference Support Pack.
