NetMAXFAQ : Upgrade and Repair :
I want to change my hardware configuration and upgrade the software. What now?
Applies to NetMAX FreeBSD Bld475
NetMAX Linux 2.0.37 - 4.0xaddress-suppressedShut down your NetMAX, then remove, add, or change the configuration of your hardware. Restart the NetMAX normally and make sure all of the hardware changes work.
Shut down the NetMAX again, and reboot it using the CD or the boot floppy. After this point, no hardware can be removed or changed until after the upgrade has been completed. After this, complete the upgrade and reboot the machine.
If any hardware is removed from a NetMAX directly before an upgrade (without going through the reboot process), the upgrade will not be successful.
You may also change the hardware after the upgrade is done. Make sure that the upgrade is entirely complete, and that the machine is off before you change the hardware. If you are adding any hardware, be sure that it is supported by NetMAX before you add it. You can check our supported hardware lists on our product pages to be sure.

Do I have enough available disk space to upgrade?
