Hi,
To perform a firmware upgrade of your External HDD then you should perform the following.
1. Download the AL670 firmware. ( You will need the file "by23_27.0323.ap2p.Zip")
2. Extract this content and copy the "install.img" file to the HDD
3. Then go to the Apacer media center and select System from the setup menu
4. Select System Upgrade
5. After this process wait for the installation Firmware to finish. DO NOT UNPLUG THE HDD
At the end of this process you should see the new firmware on the system interrogation.Â
Cheers,
Frazier
