Updating firmwareinvolves upgrading the installed firmware on a device by modifying its code. These updates are usually provided by the device manufacturer to address bugs, enhance performance, bolster security, and introduce new features. The method of firmware update varies by device and can be delivered through different channels, including over-the-air over Wi-Fi, USB connections, or through manufacturer-provided computer software.
Note: Customers can check if they have installed the correct firmware using OME/CloudIQ and Repository Manager as mentioned in Table 1.
