    Note: If there is no hardware version displayed beside the model number, the device is considered version 1.

  2. Go to Cisco Software Center (registered customers only) . Cisco recommends that you perform all firmware upgrades on your local network, not remotely.

    Note: You need a registered account to login. If you do not already have one, please register at Cisco.com.
