How to Update the System Software
The computer uses SmartSystems bundles to update the operating
system (OS) and the system software.
You can use these methods to update your computer:
• You can update individual computers, or multiple computers at the
same time, using the SmartSystems console.
• You can update individual computers with a microSD card.
Update the Computer with SmartSystems

or system software on your mobile computer.

each computer (or group in a folder) you want to update.
SmartSystems installs the update on your computer.
After the download is complete, your computer begins the update
process and automatically performs a cold boot. The computer then
enters a special Update Loader mode where it has no network
connections and is completely unusable. While your computer is
offline, SmartSystems displays a red stop symbol.
This process can take anywhere from 30 seconds to 15 minutes
depending on the update. After the update is complete, the computer
boots again.
