+**NOTE:** During the upload process it takes a pause at 95%. Do not navigate from the screen and give it a few extra seconds to complete the upload.
+**CAUTION:** It is recommended to always plan a maintenance window to perform firmware upgrades and take all necessary backups before starting this process.
+**Booting to the New Firmware**
+.  After uploading the Firmware you will see two booting options for the Uploaded Firmware - Uploaded Firmware with current configuration and Uploaded Firmware with Factory Default configuration.
+**NOTE:** You should choose the option to boot with current configuration as that will just upgrade the firmware keeping the configuration as it is. If you choose to boot with factory default configuration, you would lose your configuration and would need to access the device on default IP 192.168.168.168 on X0 or 192.168.1.254 on MGMT for devices with MGMT port.
+.  For whichever option you'd like to choose, select the **Boot Power** Icon on the far-right. Once you click on the boot icon, the image will be first saved to the flash memory and then the firewall will reboot automatically.

+**NOTE:** The firmware upgrade procedure takes between 5-8 minutes. While the firmware image is being saved to the flash memory, the internet access is still provided to the devices behind the firewall. Once the firewall restarts, the internet connection to the devices behind the firewall will be lost.
+**TIP:** If you are upgrading firmware on a device which is not on 6.2 firmware or below, you can follow the same steps but the options will be available under System | Settings section on the firewall UI.
