8. To begin the upgrade process, click the Upload Now button. The progress will be shown within the dialog. Should you decide 

not to continue with the upload at any stage, click the Abort button; response to this is usually immediate, however, during an 
erase command, the upload will not be aborted until the erase is complete (this may take a few seconds).

9. Disconnect the power. When the power is re-applied the ServSwitch Freedom unit will operate using the new firmware.

4.7.2 Issues to consider when performing flash upgrades

The upgrade program rewrites the internal firmware code. If the upgrade process is interrupted then the unit will have invalid 
code and will not be able to operate. It is therefore good practice to ensure that the upgrade process is always fully completed. A 
partial or failed upgrade may be rectified by performing another upgrade.   

WARNING: Running faulty or partially upgraded code may have unpredictable results and may damage your ServSwitch Freedom 
unit or computing equipment.
