Hello,

We are proud owners of 2 new FS5300 systems since the beginning of 2026.
However, this model specifically seems to be plagued by issues with firmware updates. In particular the release 9.1.2.1 , which would offer NVMe support for PBHA, seems to be stuck in limbo for two and a half months now. I was in contact with support about this, and back then i was told there are some problems with the onboard LAN ports, but that the update should be released within the week. That was back in April.

Does anyone know of any timeline on this?

Hi Jan, 

Version 9.1.3 will be announced tomorrow (16 June), with general availability (GA) within 10 days. I don't know if it will address that specific issue, but we're all looking forward to it.

Hi Jan,

You can now upgrade to 8.7.0.12 > 9.1.0.6 > 9.1.2.2, all of these versions are available in Fix Central. 

Note that there is a critical issue for FS5300 in v9.1.2.2 and now there is 9.1.2.3 available (since 19th of June).

And same way 9.1.0.6 has been superseded by 9.1.0.7
