# Upgrade the Module Dock Device Firmware

New firmware versions typically provide new and/or enhanced features. It is recommended to only perform firmware updates in accordance with instructions per Technical Support.

To verify the current firmware version running on the Cisco® Assurance Module Dock device, refer to the Current Version field in the Firmware Maintenance section of the **AMD System ▶ Firmware** page.

You can upgrade the firmware used by the Module Dock by downloading the firmware file directly from your computer.

**▶ To upgrade the Module Dock device's firmware**

1. Access the page **AMD System ▶ Firmware**.
2. Click the **Browse** button located next to the **New Firmware** field.
3. In the dialog box that appears, select the firmware file on your computer, then click OK.

**Note**: The firmware is distributed in a binary file with the filename extension .afl.

1. Click the **Upgrade** button.

Once the firmware has been loaded, the device will restart in order to activate the new firmware.

**▶ To revert to the previous software version**

**CAUTION**: Reverting to an older firmware version is advisable ONLY through the Rollback feature. With Rollback, compatible configuration settings are loaded with the previous firmware. A simple firmware downgrade is NOT advisable because the older firmware may not match the existing (newer) configuration. Attempting a firmware downgrade using the Upgrade button may corrupt the device's configuration.

1. Access the page **AMD System ▶ Firmware**.
2. Ensure that the version number displayed in **Rollback Version** is the correct version to which to revert.
3. Click **Rollback**.
