Upgrading Firmware Using the AMP

The SIPs can be upgraded individually or simultaneously. When an upgrade is
initiated, you will see a progress bar. As long as an upgrade is in progress, you
cannot initiate another.
NOTE:
For the 2161DS-2, 4161DS, and 2321DS, you can upload new appliance
firmware using ASMP (if supported), FTP or TFTP file transfer protocols. ASMP file
transfer allows you to select the firmware from a local file system. The 2161DS
supports the TFTP file transfer which allows you to specify the TFTP server address
and the name of the firmware file.
