6.1.0.0

If your SLB is running v5.4 (SLB884-01) or v5.5x (SSLB884-02) you must first download and install the patch file for v6.1.0.0 using the following links.

DO NOT reboot to boot up in 6.1.0.0, all you need to do is load 6.3.0.0 into the unused bank.

6.3.0.0

If your SLB884 is running 6.1.0.0 firmware in either or both banks you can directly load v6.3.0.0 using the following links. If one bank has 5.4 or 5.5x installed, boot from that bank so that you are upgrading the 6.1.0.0 bank. Attempting to load 6.3.0.0 into a bank with 5.x firmware will fail.

NOTE: Some web browsers change the extension of the firmware file from .tgz to .tar or .gz or some other extension. If your browser changes the extension of the file, before attempting to load the file onto your SLBx please change it's extension back to .tgz, e.g. slbupdate-db-x.y.tgz, where x.y is the firmware version.  for more information.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR SLB884-01 MODELS

SLB884-01 models must be dual boot bank.  To determine if your current unit has dual boot banks, click on the link in the next paragraph related to updating to v5.2a.

Along with being dual boot, SLB884-01 models must be running firmware version v5.4 before applying the v6.1.0.0 patch.  If your SLB884-01 is running firmware older than v5.2a, you must update it to v5.2a prior to updating it to v5.4.  Click Here for instructions on updating it to v5.2a.

In addition, both banks must be running 5.4. If the current bank is running 5.4 and the inactive bank is running an older version, you will need to perform a Copy Contents under the Maintenance>Firmware/Config page or use the CLI command "admin firmware copybank".

If your SLB884-01 models are not dual boot bank it cannot be upgraded to v6.x firmware.

Once your SLB884-01 is updated to, or if it is already running v5.2a or higher, but lower than v5.4, use the links below to obtain the patch to update the unit to v5.4.

SLB884-01 (with PC Card slots):

If your SLB884-01 is already running v5.4 and has dual boot banks, you may proceed with applying the v6.1.0.0 patch.

IMPORTANT - Do not proceed with an update of an SLB884-01 model (model with PC Card Slots) if the units have not been updated to v5.4 and have dual boot banks, as described here.

SLBx-02 models all run some version of 5.5 so no firmware udate needs to be made prior to loading 6.1.0.0
