Installing Updates

Updates can be installed manually or automatically.

Installing Updates Manually

4. Select the action:

• To install updates immediately, click Install Updates Now and confirm the operation.

Installing Updates Automatically

To install updates automatically, set up the maintenance window in the update configuration. For more information, see Configuring Updates.
