- To specify that the appliance should download and install firmware updates automatically, click Download and install updates automatically.
If you do not select this option, you must perform firmware updates manually, as described in Manually Updating the Firmware.

- Specify when automatic rebooting should occur, by doing one of the following:

If you do not enable automatic rebooting, then you will need to reboot the appliance as described in Restarting the CTERA Appliance, when this page indicates that a new update has been installed.
