If no internet connection is possible or access to the support server is blocked, the automatic check cannot be performed. Alternatively, the firmware file can also be downloaded here via the Wiki system.\n\n<!-- block: firmware-aktualisieren -->\n## 3. Update the firmware\n\nWith the **Update** function, you can upload and install a new firmware file on the Behnke Station.\n\n- Click the **Update** button.\n- Select the firmware file you want to install from your device.\n- Make sure the firmware is intended for the hardware platform of your Behnke Station, for example **P1** or **P2**.\n- Upload the firmware file to the Behnke Station.\n- Then start the firmware update.\n\nThe Behnke Station uses a **two-slot system** with the firmware slots **A** and **B**. One of the two slots is active and is used to boot the system. The other slot is inactive.\n\nDuring a firmware update, the new firmware is first installed on the **inactive slot**. After successful installation, this slot is activated and the previously active slot is deactivated. The Behnke Station then restarts automatically and uses the newly installed firmware.\n\n> [!WARNING]\n> Do not disconnect the Behnke Station from the power supply during the firmware update, and do not restart the device manually.\n\n> [!WARNING]\n> If an update could not be completed, or the firmware version has a problem, you can switch back to the previously installed firmware version: see [Switch slot](Guide_System_ChangeSlot).\n\n> [!NOTE]\n> Only firmware intended for the respective hardware platform of the Behnke Station can be installed.\n\n<!-- block: faq -->\n## 4.
