[Software description]
This software updates the LinkStation firmware to version 1.68. If your firmware is already version 1.68 or later, you do not need this update.
Note: if your LinkStation is in EM mode, this firmware update might recover it.
[How to check your firmware version]
Select your LinkStation from the NAS Navigator2 windows. The firmware version is displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen. If the name is in the form LS-***-EM***, the LinkStation is in EM (emergency) mode.
[Caution]
- Please consult your tech support or local representative if the firmware update produces unexpected problems.
- Do not turn the unit off until the update is finished. The update takes several minutes.
- Newer LinkStation firmwares (after version 1.51) may cause the following message to appear in NAS Navigator2:
"152:Unknown error occurred"
If this message appears, update NAS Navigator2 to the latest version.
