Please note that there are two columns for firmware, one for the standard hardware and one for the "midlife" hardware that was phased into production from April 2008.
If your current firmware version number starts with 0.xx or 1.xx upgrade from the Firmware Standard column. If your current firmware version starts with 2.xx or above, upgrade from the Firmware Midlife column. Should you upgrade with the wrong version this is not a problem. Your instrument will just stay in firmware upgrade mode so you can repeat the upgrade with the correct version.
