Updating the Firmware

Your new FortiDB appliance comes with the latest operating system (firmware) when shipped. However, if a new version has been released since your appliance was shipped, you should install it before you continue the installation. Fortinet periodically releases FortiWeb firmware updates to include enhancements and address issues. After you register your FortiDB appliance, FortiDB firmware is available for download at:

https://support.fortinet.com

New firmware can also introduce new features which you must configure for the first time.

For late-breaking information specific to the firmware release version, see the Release Notes available with that release.

Before you can download firmware updates for your FortiDB appliance, you must first register your FortiDB appliance with Fortinet Technical Support. For details, go to https://support.fortinet.com/ or contact Fortinet Technical Support.
