• To reboot the image with current preferences, mouse over the New Firmware row and click the boot icon at the right, then click BOOT in the BOOT FIRMWARE dialog.

To reboot the image with factory default settings, mouse over the New Firmware row and click the boot icon at the right, select the Boot with factory default settings option, and then click BOOT in the BOOT FIRMWARE dialog.

After clicking BOOT, do not power off the device while the image is being uploaded to the flash memory.
