If you want to upgrade specific products, ensure that you retrieve
both the .bin and .xlm files. Otherwise, the application will not be

The application only takes into account the upgrade files
(system images or products) that are not already installed on
your unit. The other upgrade files will be ignored.

System image files have precedence over product’s upgrade
files. This means that if there is a system image (not currently
installed on your unit) at the root of the USB key, the
application will ignore the upgrade files that may be present for
specific products. If you want to upgrade specific products,
ensure that there is no system image file at the root of the USB
key that could prevent the upgrade.
