Upload the update to the Firepower Management Center by selecting System > Updates, then clicking Upload Update on the Product Updates 
tab. Browse to the update and click Upload.

The update is uploaded to the Firepower Management Center. The web interface shows the type of update you uploaded, its version number, 
and the date and time it was generated. The page also indicates whether a reboot is required as part of the update.

Optionally, run a readiness check on the Firepower Threat Defense device as described in 

 If you encounter issues with the readiness check that you cannot resolve, do not begin the update. Instead, contact Support.

Make sure that the appliances in your deployment are successfully communicating and that there are no issues reported by the health monitor.

Click the install icon next to the update you are installing.

Select the devices where you want to install the update.

Click Install. Confirm that you want to install the update and reboot the devices.

The update process begins. You can monitor the update's progress on the Tasks tab of the Message Center.

Note that managed devices may reboot twice during the update; this is expected behavior.

 If you encounter issues with the update (for example, if messages in the Tasks tab of the Message Center show no progress for several 

minutes or indicate that the update has failed), do not restart the update. Instead, contact Support.

Select Devices > Device Management and confirm that the devices you updated have the correct software version: 6.1.0.

Verify that the appliances in your deployment are successfully communicating and that there are no issues reported by the health monitor.

Redeploy policies to all managed devices.

Click the Deploy button and select all available devices, then Click Deploy.

If a later patch is available on the Support site, update to the latest patch as described in the Firepower System Release Notes for that version.
