5. Select a firmware version from the Firmware Version drop-down list.
6. Select one of the following as required:
   • Select Now to set the compliance to be carried out immediately.
   • Select Later Date to set the compliance at the later date and time.
7. Click Save and Upgrade.
   Aruba Central initiates a firmware upgrade operation only for the devices that support the selected firmware version. If any of selected devices do not support the firmware version selected for the upgrade, a list of unsupported devices is displayed.
