Backup Reminder

You will receive a reminder from the tool to back up any important data before

proceeding. Once you press “OK”, circled in red below, your update will begin.

The duration of this procedure varies across different platforms. Once the proce-

dure is complete, the system will automatically be rebooted. If the update is slow

or freezes up, DO NOT POWER OFF YOUR SYSTEM. Simply reboot if needed and

repeat the procedure. Be sure to read the notes on the final page of this docu-

ment before beginning or if you have issues updating.

After the update is completed, your system should automatically reboot and load

the OS. However, some users may see the following notice, shown below. If you

see this notice, your firmware has not updated and you will need to go to step 5.
