# Downgrade firmware

You can downgrade appliance firmware to an older version, if the newer firmware is known to cause a problem in your environment.

| CAUTION: Downgrading to firmware that is not supported on the hardware can cause the hardware to cease operation. Forcing a firmware downgrade might leave the server unstable. For example, if the Firmware is downgraded to a previous version that does not use updated Rich Infrastructure Specification (RIS), the communication between interconnect module and HPE OneView will break.

Prerequisites

- Required privileges: Server administrator

- At least one supported SPP (Service Pack for ProLiant)
