Updating firmware and software

When an update to the system software or firmware is available, the display downloads the update in the background then waits for four hours of inactivity. When that happens, the display shows a two‑minute countdown before the update begins. You can interrupt the countdown at any time. The display shows a blank screen for several minutes. When the update is complete, the iQ home screen, or input lobby appears.

Note 

You can configure your organization’s network to allow or prevent automatic system software and firmware updates (see Connecting to a network).

If the display has downloaded the system software update but hasn’t yet applied the update, you can start the update process manually from Settings.

To apply an automatic system software update manually

  1. From the Home screen, tap Settings.

  2. Scroll to Software Update.

  3. Under Check for Updates Now, tap Apply Update Now.

    The display turns off and then turns back on. The display then applies the update.

You can download system software updates at smarttech.com/downloads and update your display using a USB drive.

Note 

Instructions for downloading and installing system software updates are provided on the software downloads page.
