Warnings

  • Backup your data in a different location first before updating the firmware or update the firmware before you setup the drives and transfer your data.

  • This firmware is only for the AKiTiO products mentioned above. DO NOT use this firmware for any other devices!
  • Make sure the device to be udpated is the only one currently connected to the computer. For multiple devices, please update them one at a time.
